Browns consider KC Concepcion as primary punt returner this season
Summary

The Cleveland Browns are looking to utilize first-round pick KC Concepcion as their primary punt returner in the upcoming NFL season. Concepcion, known for his agility and speed, excelled in college with the highest punt return yards in the SEC last year. While his performance could boost the team's special teams, there are concerns about health risks given his high draft status. Cleveland seeks to enhance their return game after a lackluster performance last season, where they failed to score a touchdown on returns. The coaching staff is assessing how best to integrate new draft picks, including Denzel Boston and Isaiah Bond.
