KC Concepcion makes a massive NFL Combine splash before running even one drill

Texas A&M fans will not be shocked in the slightest to hear that Aggie receiver KC Concepcion is commanding a lot of attention at the NFL Combine. The NC State transfer was an absolute smash hit in Aggieland, moving his draft stock up from a possible third-round selection all the way up to a first-round projection.

Ryan Fowler, an NFL and college football analyst who is in the thick of things up in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine, is validating that intuition with his latest report. KC, who showed his skills in a huge way during his one year in College Station, has caught the eye of the majority of NFL teams— and franchises are clamoring to get him in for meetings.

Texas A&M receiver KC Concepcion labeled as 'probably the most popular name' at NFL Combine

Like I said, this shouldn't be surprising at all. While KC could have gone a little bit under the radar at a place like NC State, it was evident right from the very beginning of his time in College Station that he was a high-level receiving talent. He gave projected high-round selections at corner absolute fits, such as LSU's Mansoor Delane, all throughout the season.

KC is currently projected as a guy who will be selected in the latter half of the first round, but at a premium position like wide receiver, he could go much higher than that with a good Combine showing. His explosivity in the open field, his ability to beat corners on any route, and his team-first attitude make him a very attractive prospect for any NFL franchise looking for a value add on the offensive side.

Given his aplomb as a returner, too, Concepcion could make a day one impact wherever he ends up. It's good to see that the NFL side of things are beginning to come around to what Aggie fans have known for a while: KC Concepcion is one of the best players in this draft class, and teams would do well to snap him up as soon as they possibly can do so.
