NASHVILLE, TN — Cleveland’s rookie wide receiver KC Concepcion has played a key role in the Browns’ offense through the first six weeks of the season.

The 22-year-old of Puerto Rican heritage, a product of Texas A&M University who was selected 24th overall in this past April’s NFL Draft, led the Browns in receptions and targets entering Week 6, consistently catching passes to move the ball.

But in Week 7, Concepcion took his game to the next step, as he recorded his first 100-yard receiving game.

He finished the game with career-highs with eight receptions for 129 receiving yards, as well as three carries for 23 yards. His 129 receiving yards were the eighth-most by a Browns rookie in a game, and he is the first Browns rookie wide receiver to record a 100-yard receiving game since Corey Coleman in 2016.

“I enter every week expecting to have a game like this. This week, it was my breakout game, and I just can’ t wait to keep stacking weeks,” Concepcion said. “I’ve been this way my whole life. I play this game with so much heart, so much effort. I’m finally glad that Browns fans and the Browns community was finally able to see what I can bring to this team.”

From the beginning of the game, the Browns utilized Concepcion in the pass game.

He took a screen pass 23 yards on third-and-7 on the first offensive drive before he brought in a 32-yard reception to help set up RB Quinshon Judkins’ game-tying touchdown in the second quarter.

Late in the first half, Concepcion also caught a 15-yard pass to set up Szmyt with a 28-yard field goal to give the Browns the lead entering halftime.

Then late in the fourth quarter, Concepcion spun and bounced off the Titans’ defenders for an 18-yard gain to the Titans’ 9-yard line. His run set up a touchdown by QB Deshaun Watson to give Cleveland a lead with 4:39 left in the game.

“We still used him to run the ball a little bit. He’s hard to bring down, he is a weapon,” Browns head coach Todd Monken said. “He’s a real dude, man. He’s a real dude. Coming out of the draft, everybody said that about him. When you visit with him and you’re around him, he’s diligent. He’s humble. He’s competitive. Got unbelievable fight.”
