KC Concepcion develops timing with Deshaun Watson before Browns season opener

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion is preparing for his first NFL season following a standout collegiate career at NC State and Texas A&M. The first-round pick has established a rapport with veteran quarterback Deshaun Watson during training camp, despite limited preseason action caused by a minor shoulder injury. Concepcion logged three catches for 27 yards and a touchdown in his lone preseason appearance against the Chicago Bears. To address concerns regarding his collegiate drop rate, the receiver has increased his time with JUGS machines and focused on catching drills. With Watson confirmed as the starting quarterback, the pair continues to refine route adjustments and timing ahead of the regular season opener. The Browns are scheduled to face the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium to begin their 2026 campaign.
