Just a week before the first night of the 2026 NFL Draft kicked off, Concepcion penned a letter to all 32 NFL teams through The Players’ Tribune. In the letter, Concepcion spoke of his speech impediment, how he has grown as a man, the adversity he has faced in life and his potential as a prospect. Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry was impressed by the letter and message from Concepcion.
“His agent sent the letter, I’m sure, to every (general manager), but I actually went and I called him after the letter,” Berry said. “I was like, ‘Hey, look, I thought that was really awesome,’ and that was separate from obviously liking him as a prospect.”
