Texas A&M Star KC Concepcion Addresses Stutter After Fan Backlash — “This Is Who I Am”

KC Concepcion is making sure his voice is heard.

The Texas A&M star wide receiver — who is one of the top WR prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class — addressed fan negativity after viewers noticed his stutter during his NFL Combine media session. As social media commentary picked up, Concepcion took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message at the end of the weekend.

“I just wanna say something,” Concepcion began. “If you have a speech impediment there is nothing wrong with us. I have had this stutter since I can remember talking. This is a part of me. This is who I am. I cannot control this.”

The 5-foot-11 wide receiver, who played two seasons at North Carolina State before transferring to Texas A&M for 2025, didn’t stop there. He continued, “I wanna be a role model for those who may be scared to speak up, who may be afraid and not confident in yourself. I stand with you. This weekend has taught me a lot about myself and people out here in this world.”

Concepcion also expressed gratitude for supporters who reached out following his interviews. “I appreciate everyone who supports me and has reached out to me after these interviews. Don’t let an outside person’s thoughts, opinions get in the way of you being great, of you achieving something in life.”

“I am blessed to be in the position that I am in and I want to help give back to those who are scared to speak up, who aren’t as confident. I stand with you. I will always stand with you,” he added, before concluding, “We are different for a reason. God has blessed my life in a way I couldn’t even imagine in this past year. I love y’all and I support y’all as we climb this mountain together.” Concepcion signed off his message with the hashtag #stopthenegativity.

On the field, the wideout had 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns in the most recent campaign and has a chance to be a first-round pick — and, as the article notes, a chance to be an inspiration to many.
