  KC Concepcion Camp Update — August 31: Part of the Reason Tillman Is Gone

  Cleveland waived former third-round receiver Cedric Tillman, and Scott Petrak's accounting put the drafting of KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston among the reasons he was the odd man out. Concepcion is on the fifty-three among six receivers, per the team's announcement, but the punt-return job the beat has attached to him is not on the record anywhere.

  Show notes & transcript

  Cleveland spent the 20-fourth pick in April on KC Concepcion. July drafts spend pick one 26. Somewhere between those two numbers is a quarterback situation.

  The record: first round, pick 24, from Texas A and M, per the Browns. He won the Hornung Award as the country's most versatile player — the December release cites SEC-leading receiving-touchdown production and the nation's third-best punt-return average. GM Andrew Berry called him the class's best punt returner, per SI in April; The Athletic's June prediction has him returning punts week one.

  The situation: the target tree is wide open and the quarterback is a three-way question. Verified, Jerry Jeudy led Cleveland's wideouts with just 50 catches on a hundred six targets — six-oh-two yards, a down year — and the team's leading receiver was a rookie tight end. The new staff, Todd Monken as head coach with Travis Switzer coordinating per the February announcements, inherits a camp competition between Dillon Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders, and Deshaun Watson, per the team site in June. Position coach Christian Jones says the rookies showed progress on the install — June team-site coach-speak, labeled as such.

  Here's what we owe you instead of a projection: none of the inputs that make Concepcion exciting — capital, versatility, spring buzz — predict rookie stat lines at a standard we'd cite. A return job is real weekly usage; a target share is a hope. The data starts in September.

  Watch: who wins the quarterback room, and whether Concepcion's slot snaps survive the veteran incumbents once the games count. If he's one of your guys, this show exists for your whole roster — every player, every week, all season.
