A star wide receiver could slip in the upcoming NFL draft after recent developments. Following a three-year college career, the prospect declared for the draft, projected to be selected in the latter stages of the first round.
Texas A&M star KC Conception suffered bad news ahead of the big night. The wide receiver underwent knee surgery, which could have a negative effect on his draft stock, a little over a month before the event.
NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported on Monday that Concepcion underwent a knee scope, a routine and preventative procedure. Dallas Cowboys team physician Daniel Cooper performed it last week.

Garafolo added that Concepcion should be 100% ready when rookie camp arrives. Fortunately, the news wouldn’t affect his draft stock. Playoff contenders and Super Bowl hopefuls should be interested in the prospect. Teams such as the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, and Buffalo Bills are projected to be in the mix to trade Concepcion.
He spent his first two seasons with the North Carolina State Wolfpack before transferring to Texas A&M. He caught 185 passes for 2,218 yards and 25 touchdowns before declaring for the draft. Now, some might question whether his latest procedure could become a risk to whoever drafts him.
The Kansas City Chiefs could also make a swing for his services. But more options are on the table for the AFC West team. Concepcion comes off a strong showing at the combine, so teams will have more factors to study before making a decision on the WR.
depending on how much we give up, this could be an exciting trade
i wasnt pumped about Doubs... because he was basically our #1 WR when he should be a good #2... With AJ Brown, we would have some serious talent at the WR position going forward for Maye
