WATCH: Ex Aggies Star KC Concepcion Scores First NFL Touchdown

Former Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion delivered the kind of explosive play that made him a star in College Station, scoring his first NFL touchdown Sunday on a 64-yard reception from Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

The rookie's breakthrough briefly put Cleveland in position to steal a road victory, but the New Orleans Saints rallied for a 23-22 overtime win at Caesars Superdome.

For Concepcion, though, the afternoon provided another glimpse of the big-play potential that made him a first-round NFL draft pick.

With Cleveland trailing 9-6 and 5:38 remaining in regulation, Sanders attacked the Saints' secondary on the first play of a possession. Concepcion worked himself open downfield, secured the pass and turned the reception into a 64-yard touchdown.

The scoring play took just 17 seconds and gave the Browns a 13-9 lead with 5:21 remaining.

What made the moment even more impressive was Concepcion's recovery from an earlier injury scare.

Late in the third quarter, the former Aggies standout went down with an apparent leg injury and required assistance from Cleveland's medical staff. He eventually returned, showing no noticeable loss of explosiveness on his touchdown.

According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Concepcion traveled 102.3 yards during the scoring play and reached 19.88 mph.

He finished with four receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown on six targets, adding three rushing yards on one carry.

Concepcion's performance also highlighted his developing chemistry with Sanders, who started in place of Deshaun Watson.

Sanders completed 19 of 31 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.

Unfortunately for Cleveland, the late touchdown wasn't enough.

New Orleans answered with a two-yard touchdown run by Audric Estime, but the Browns forced overtime on Andre Szmyt's 51-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining.

The Saints struck first in the extra period on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Shough to Juwan Johnson.

Sanders responded by finding Harold Fannin Jr. for a 39-yard touchdown, pulling Cleveland within one point. But the Browns failed on their two-point conversion attempt, ending the comeback.

The loss dropped Cleveland to 5-4.

For Texas A&M fans, Concepcion's touchdown served as another reminder of the electrifying talent he displayed during his college career.

The rookie now has 37 receptions for 437 yards through nine NFL games, numbers that suggest he's becoming an important part of Cleveland's passing attack.
