NFL Draft profile<\/a> on the league\u2019s official website, Lance Zierlein projects Concepcion to go in the first round of this year\u2019s selection process \u2014 comparing him to longtime Seattle Seahawks great receiver, Doug Baldwin.<\/p>\nConcepcion offers immediate burst and separation into space. He\u2019s elusive in beating press and getting into breaks with minimum damage from handsy coverage. While he has a one-speed approach, he can snap off routes with alarming suddenness, making him extremely difficult to match at leveraged break points. He\u2019s instinctive against zone. He\u2019s also a nightmare for man coverage on choice routes and near the goal line. He\u2019s quicker than fast, with more value on utility throws utilizing run after catch. Concepcion\u2019s ability to quickly uncover should be very appealing to teams with spotty protection and a young quarterback.<\/p>\n
While Concepcion would provide Miami with an immediate upgrade in athleticism in the wide receivers room, drops were a problem at times for the 6\u20190\u201d, 196 lb pass catcher \u2014 having 19 such mishaps over three seasons\u2019 worth of play at N.C. State and Texas A&M.<\/p>\n
Despite his somewhat slippery hands, Concepcion was a productive receiver in college \u2014 amassing 185 catches for 2,218 yards and 25 receiving touchdowns. He also added 70 rushing attempts for 431 yards (6.2 yards per carry) and three rushing scores.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s the type of weapon the Dolphins could use on offense \u2014 especially after parting ways with both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle this offseason. He\u2019d be a reach at #11, but a steal at #30 in the first round \u2014 so if new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan covets Concepcion\u2019s skillset, he may need to do some wheeling and dealing come April 23rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier in the offseason, it was reported that Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion would visit with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":225068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,22886,125,124],"class_list":{"0":"post-225067","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-miami","9":"tag-miami-dolphins-draft","10":"tag-miami-headlines","11":"tag-miami-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
