The NFL Draft Combine is underway in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the Buffalo Bills have been active in meeting with prospects. Buffalo met with Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion this week, a guy who has been projected to be selected by the Bills in the first round.
The interest seems to be mutual between both Buffalo and Concepcion himself. The former 4-star recruit grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, but he was actually born in Rochester, New York, just about one hour east of Buffalo.
He grew up watching the Bills courtesy of his father.
“My meeting with the Bills went really well,” Concepcion said. “I was actually born in New York, moved [away] when I was five… the Bills are actually my dad’s favorite team, so I’ve been watching them since I was young. Josh Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, I would be grateful [to play with him].”
Concepcion Tabbed by Bills Heading Into 2026 Draft
Several mock drafts have placed Concepcion with the Bills at No. 26 overall, but it may not be that simple. Concepcion was ranked just outside the first round by NFL.com, meaning the Bills would have to reach a little bit to get him.
But, at pick No. 26, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to reach to get a player at a position of need, rather than just taking the best overall talent on the board.
Concepcion is the No. 8 ranked wide receiver in a stacked wideout draft class. At least four of the guys ranked ahead of him will be gone before the Bills pick at No. 26, and at that point, you’re looking more for scheme fit than anything else. And Concepcion is exactly the type of player Buffalo should be looking for.
“A playmaker: I’m versatile, I can play inside receiver, outside receiver, running back, punt return, kick return,” Concepcion said of his talents.
Concepcion is an explosive playmaker with great talent downfield and in space. He’s exactly the type of player that would excel catching deep passes from Josh Allen. If Buffalo wants to seriously increase its deep play potential on offense, Concepcion is the scheme fit they’re looking for.
Concepcion’s Scouting Report
Here is Concepcion’s official scouting report from NFL.com:
“Concepcion is an undersized receiver with elite burst and inconsistent hands. His speed jumps off the screen. You can see it right off the snap: He uses a quick jab step and then explodes down the field. He creates massive separation against quality competition. He hauls in a lot of quick-hitters (bubbles, slants and shallow crossers). His hands have been the biggest issue; he has too many concentration drops. When he does finish the catch, he is dynamic with the ball in his hands. His transition from catch to run is immediate and explosive.”
The one knock on Concepcion is his hands, but that may be the most easily fixable issue a player can enter the NFL with. You can’t teach speed and explosiveness; you can teach concentration and better grip.
