The 2026 NFL Draft will take place April 23-25 in Pittsburgh. Concepcion and other draft eligible players will get the opportunity to showcase their skills before then at their Pro Days as well as the NFL Combine from Feb. 23-March 2.

In a recent article from ESPN, Concepcion ranked No. 38 in NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr.’s top 50 prospects. Matt Miller also weighed in with an evaluation of the receiver, comparing him with Texans receiver Tank Dell.

“His size will typecast him as a slot receiver, but Concepcion has Tank Dell qualities, such as elite quickness and top-end burst,” Miller wrote. “He could be a big contributor immediately in an offense that values yards after the catch on underneath routes.”

Based on those projections, Concepcion could fall anywhere from the late first round to the early or mid-second round in th NFL Draft. He displayed his skills for three years in college and will now focus on becoming a valuable asset to whatever team ends up selecting him.
