KC Concepcion, Texas A&M’s standout receiver, has been part of the Chargers’ pre-draft visits, joining the 49ers after a circuit of interviews with multiple teams. He totaled 919 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 2025 and owns 2,218 career receiving yards and 25 touchdowns, along with 431 rushing yards and three rushing TDs.
Concepcion’s versatility adds value for a Chargers offense that prioritizes multi-tool players. He sits as the sixth-best wide receiver and the 35th-best overall prospect in current draft rankings, according to Pro Football Focus.
With the 22nd overall pick, Los Angeles could land Concepcion, a fit many mock drafts project for the Chargers. Analysts have noted his potential fit in McDaniel’s system as a slot-oriented playmaker who could complement Herbert and the offense in Year 1, drawing comparisons to successful peers in similar schemes.
Allen’s 2025 campaign produced 777 receiving yards and four touchdowns, underscoring the need for reliable targets in the passing game. The Chargers’ active pre-draft approach signals a plan to add depth and flexibility behind whatever path Allen’s career takes beyond this season.
As draft week approaches, LA remains focused on pairing Herbert with a versatile receiver who can thrive in McDaniel’s offense. Concepcion’s confidence in his own ability—paired with the Chargers’ pursuit of slot and complementary options—highlights a concerted effort to strengthen the offense for 2026 and beyond.
