Weaknesses:

Much of the concern surrounding Concepcion centers on his overall frame and how it will translate to the next level.

On film, there is limited evidence of him consistently winning on the outside, although he does offer enough versatility to align as an X receiver when needed. His smaller build raises questions about his ability to win true 50/50 balls on the perimeter, even with his impressive leaping ability and willingness to challenge defenders in the air.

His lack of mass makes him susceptible to being bumped off his routes, despite his natural ability to create separation with quickness and fluidity. His functional strength remains an area of concern, as he may be physically overwhelmed by bigger, more physical defensive backs in press-man situations at the professional level.

While Concepcion displays strong hand–eye coordination, it does not always show up consistently. He has had well-documented issues with concentration drops, posting an 11% drop rate this past season—higher than expected for a player with his skill set and usage. To maximize his effectiveness, Concepcion would benefit from an offensive system that emphasizes quick-hitting concepts such as hitches, smashes, and other timing-based routes that allow him to win early and operate in space.
