ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills sat down with Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion on Friday as the 21-year-old Rochester native impressed during a pre-draft visit. The local kid, who grew up watching Josh Allen light it up, left the meeting buzzing about a possible future in Western New York.
Concepcion didn’t waste words when he opened up after the sit-down. The 585 area code still runs deep. He put up serious production in his first year with the Aggies in 2025: 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns. He also chipped in 75 rushing yards and a score while flipping the field on special teams with 456 punt return yards and two touchdowns on 26 attempts, including an 80-yard house call.
You could hear the hometown pride when he spoke. The chilly April wind outside the facility didn’t cool the energy inside. A kid who once sat in front of the TV rooting for his dad’s favorite team just took a real step toward wearing the blue and red. Bills fans in the stands at Highmark Stadium already know the feeling when a returner breaks one loose—the roar that shakes the upper deck.
Buffalo finished the 2025 season at 12-5. They punched their ticket with a wild-card win but saw the run end in the AFC Divisional Round against the Denver Broncos in overtime. The New England Patriots claimed the division and rolled to the AFC crown. Now the front office hunts more weapons to surround Allen and push deeper into January.
“My meeting with the Bills, it went really well. You know, I was actually born in New York… 585. The Bills is actually my dad’s favorite team. So, I’ve been watching them since I was young. Obviously, Josh Allen he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league and I’ll be grateful.” — KC Concepcion, Former Texas A&M WR
This visit signals exactly where Buffalo wants to go. Concepcion’s speed, hands, and elite return ability give the Bills a player who can contribute on offense and flip field position right away. After watching their season end on that Broncos overtime heartbreak, the front office knows they need difference-makers who create explosive plays.
The 2026 NFL Draft lands in Pittsburgh April 23-25. Concepcion’s combination of local ties and production puts him squarely on the radar as the Bills build around Allen for another run at the AFC East and beyond. A hometown kid who already dreams in Bills blue could turn those childhood Sundays into real Sundays at Highmark Stadium.
