Concern as college star KC Concepcion, backed to be first-round NFL Draft pick, has knee surgery
Wide receiver KC Concepcion has undergone a knee procedure in news that could be a concern with the NFL Draft a little over a month away.
Many have backed the Texas A&M man to be a first-round pick, potentially in the latter stages when the anticipated 2026 Super Bowl contenders make their picks.
The news about his knee was first reported by NFL Insider Mike Garafolo, who says it was a routine arthroscopic surgery carried out by the Dallas Cowboys team doctor Daniel Cooper.
He added that the expectation is that the young wide receiver will be fine for rookie minicamp in May.
Wide receiver KC Concepcion has undergone a knee procedure before the NFL Draft
But even so, the news is not ideal before a career-defining moment such as the draft.
San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills have all been tipped to be in the running to take the wide receiver with their first round picks, but there will now be questions over whether that could be a risk.
Concepcion, 21, had 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns for Texas A&M in his final college year.
