With the 31st overall pick in this year’s draft, the New England Patriots could go in many directions, with wide receiver becoming a real possibility. If so, Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion is a player to watch.
Not only is Concepcion one of the top receiver prospects in this year’s draft, he will also be one of only 30 players to visit the Patriots’ facility before the draft: According to recent reports, he will make what is known as 30 visits with the organization.

Concepcion, 21, spent the first two years of his college career at North Carolina State before transferring to Texas A&M before his junior campaign in 2025. In his only season with the Aggies, he was an SEC first-team selection as a receiver, receiver and all-around player, was a unanimous All-American, and received the Paul Hornung Award, recognizing the most versatile player in college football.
In total, he finished his college career with 37 starts in 38 games, catching 185 passes for 2,218 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also carried the ball 70 times for 431 yards and three scores and returned 30 punts for an average of 16.7 yards and two additional touchdowns.
While he has a resume worthy of a first-round pick, the 6-foot-0, 196-pound wide receiver is also facing some injury concerns after recently having his knee checked out. It’s not surprising that the Patriots took a closer look at his knee during their visit. Medical evaluation is a key part of 30 visits like this one.
Concepcion isn’t the only new addition to the roster, which currently has nine players. Tight end Oscar Delp, who could go as early as the third round, is among the players set to spend some time in Foxborough before the draft.

Delp, 22, has spent his entire four-year career at Georgia. In 55 games as a Bulldog, he caught 70 passes for 854 yards and nine touchdowns and suffered a hairline fracture in 2025 that was not discovered until the combine.
