The 2026 NFL Draft is going to get wild. There's draft smoke everywhere. We’re one week away from Night 1 of the highly anticipated event, and chatter around one prospect is blowing up. It’s chatter that the Baltimore Ravens may want to pay attention to.
On Thursday, former Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion caught the attention of the NFL world with his piece on The Players’ Tribune titled “A Letter to NFL GMs.” It’s a fantastic piece that is worth checking out.
Safe to say, Concepcion’s words exuded confidence.

It’s certainly a bold self-assessment, and it’s not a shock to see prospects talk about themselves in such a way during this time of year, but it’s gone viral. The Ravens, who met with Concepcion on a 30-visit, could have an even closer eye on him now.
Baltimore Ravens’ 30-visit target has everyone’s attention after bold self-assessment
At wide receiver, you need the type of confidence that Concepcion has. You’re pretty much on an island against a cornerback on every snap, and your quarterback needs you to win those one-on-one battles. Concepcion not only has the confidence to do that, but also the ability.
Concepcion is one of the better route runners in this year’s draft. He’s shifty as heck, beating opposing corners off the line of scrimmage with devastating footwork and quickness. He’s very detail-oriented with his route craftsmanship and has an innate knowledge of how to create separation. It’s natural to him, and so is his ability to find space after the catch.
The biggest flaw surrounding Concepcion’s game is his hands. It’s kind of funny because he made the claim in his letter that he catches everything thrown near him, but again, that’s the confidence talking. The reality is, his hands are inconsistent.
Concepcion’s drops are frustratingly, especially when it comes to making catches through contact. His drop rate was at 9.1% in 2024, and remained high in 2025 at 6.9%. Maybe that signals some progress, though.
The Ravens need another wide receiver. Most fans will tell you the team needs to draft a more physical weapon (and they’re right), but if the first 13 picks don't go their way and they can't find that guy, trading back for a master of separation like Concepcion could be a nice substitute.
Ultimately, Lamar Jackson has proven that no matter who you put at wideout, he’ll get them the football at an efficient rate. A player who gets himself open as much as Concepcion does would eat with Jackson throwing him the ball. Sure, it wouldn’t look appealing to the human eye if you throw another sub-6-foot wide receiver into the offense next to Zay Flowers, but if he can get open, catch the ball, and create after the catch, no one will be complaining.
