Browns' Todd Monken Compares Rookie KC Concepcion to Zay Flowers

Overview

• Monken, who now coaches Cleveland, said Tuesday that first-round receiver KC Concepcion shares traits with Ravens wideout Zay Flowers, pointing to practice habits and the approach he brings to each rep.
• Monken’s view draws on three seasons coaching Flowers in Baltimore, where the receiver topped 858 yards each year and posted back-to-back 1,000-yard, Pro Bowl campaigns.
• General manager Andrew Berry added that Concepcion shows similar movement and quickness to Flowers while noting the rookie’s larger frame.
• Reports cite overlap in how both receivers separate from defenders and gain yards after the catch, with Concepcion entering the league as one of his class’s top YAC threats.
• Analysts caution that the Flowers comp sets a bar for usage and development, though it remains too early to know if Concepcion will reach similar production.
