Cleveland Browns rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston earn high expectations

Cleveland Browns rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston are expected to play significant roles in the team's offense during the 2026 season. Analyst Dan Graziano notes that both receivers may lead the team in receiving despite questions surrounding the quarterback situation. The Browns struggled offensively last year, finishing second-to-last in passing, prompting the front office to draft both players to address that depth. Concepcion, an elusive route runner who secured the Maurice Bassett Award for his performance during training camp, joins the 6-4 Boston in a receiver group that includes Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond. Coach Todd Monken intends to integrate the rookies into the offensive rotation immediately. While the team faces challenges at quarterback, the coaching staff anticipates that the passing attack will improve as these younger players increase their target share.
