Recently, top wide receiver prospect KC Concepcion took to The Players’ Tribune to pen an open letter to NFL general managers in anticipation of the draft. Concepcion, who starred during his time with NC State and Texas A&M, took the opportunity to put forth exactly what he is about and why he will succeed at the next level.Here's what Concepcion had to say and why the Rams should take this very seriously in their consideration of drafting him.Concepcion's pen does the talkingIn his beautifully crafted piece, Concepcion spoke about the many challenges he had growing up, highlighting a stutter that would be the basis of others bullying him in his youth.

Already dealing with a variety of familial issues, Concepcion had to endure a lot, but he found refuge in his family's kitchen. Concepcion is close to his family, especially his mom, and one of the things that he would do as an escape is to make his family breakfast.Weekends meant I got to wake up early and go into my stealth mode. I’d tiptoe down the steps before my mom and my little brothers got up," wrote Concepcion.

"Then I’d open up the pantry all quiet and pull stuff out and be grabbing different things from the fridge. It’d be like: pancake mix — check, bacon — check, eggs — check, those Pillsbury cinnamon rolls that come in that weird cardboard canister that pops when you open it — check.I’d do the pancake mix first, get that all ready. (It’s pretty easy to mess up pancake mix, btw. Especially when you’re like 8 or whatever.) Then I’d put the bacon in the toaster oven.

When the bacon was ready, I’d swap in the cinnamon rolls and make the pancakes on the skillet. I’d have another skillet going with scrambled eggs. Then, when I had everything ready, I’d plate it all and trudge back upstairs and yell out to my family….Goooooood morning, everybody!!!!!!!!!

It’s that time again!!!!!! Breakfast in bed!!!!! Get it while it’s hot!!!!!!!! It was like a party.

Every single time. My mom and my little brothers, they’d be celebrating the pancakes. But me? I was celebrating something bigger….I had 48 hours where I could just be at peace.

And feel free to just be me. That was worth a party.His other refuge was football. When he put the pads on, the worries of life disappeared.

He was free; he was the best. For the first time in his life, he felt the love and appreciation he had longed for from friends, teachers, coaches, and others. His stutter comes and goes, being a part of his identity, but football has written the narrative of his life.Concepcion would conclude by saying that the challenges that came from the reactions to his stutter, his ability to deal with familial issues, his work ethic instilled from his mom, his football experience, and his ability to own any situation he is in are the reasons why he's ready to succeed in the NFL.Concepcion is built to be a RamThis is the type of guy the Rams love.

I've spoken to many coaches within the organization, and they put the utmost emphasis on the controllables. Response, effort, attitude, character. They won't touch a player unless they know he will be a culture fit for their hard-working, friendly, competitive roster.Concepcion has it all, and we're not even talking about his football ability.

A star of the 2025 Aggies, he helped them reach the College Football Playoffs for the first time in their history. In one season alone, Concepcion was named a three-time All-SEC selection as a wide receiver, all-purpose player, and return specialist. He's a Consensus All-American, and he won the Paul Hornung award as college football's most versatile player.He's the creative threat Sean McVay needs to expand the offense, he's versatile to do much more than being a WR3 (the exact reason Tutu Atwell was benched for the final two games of his Rams' career), he's a natural successor to Davante Adams, and he maintains the culture and expectations of the offense, if not improves both on his own.This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: KC Concepcion is a natural fit for the Rams in the draft
