BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns had a clash of first-rounders Tuesday after rookie receiver Corey Coleman beat cornerback Justin Gilbert on a touchdown pass and the two had to be separated.

Coleman, who's had an outstanding camp, put a move on Gilbert in one-on-one drills and cruised in easily for a touchdown catch.

On his way back to the sidelines, Coleman, this year's No. 15 overall pick, trash-talked Gilbert, the 2014 No. 8 overall pick, and the two went head to head. It got heated, and cornerback Tramon Williams quickly stepped in to try to break them up.

Hue Jackson then got involved and separated them for good.

"It's competitiveness, you know,'' said Jackson. "Again, one guy is trying to score, the other guy is trying to stop him from scoring so they kind of go after it. Again, I want it to all happen within the rules of the game. It did. It could always escalate, I'm being very honest with you. I never want to have anything escalate because we can't tolerate that because that can't happen on the field.

"That's where the penalty flag comes out. Our guys have to learn to keep their poise and control their emotions. Things get hot sometimes. That's just part of it, but you got to do it the right way because we don't want it to cost our football team."

All in all, it wasn't a great day for Gilbert, who gave up three passes in one 11-on-11 period to Terrelle Pryor, who once wrestled the ball away from him. Gilbert has been keeping the seat warm for Joe Haden while he recovers from his ankle surgery, but will need to step up his game to make the team.

Meanwhile, Coleman continues to make big plays every day and is looking worthy of his first-round status.

"You'll think he's be one of the best to ever put on a Browns uniform,'' his former Baylor coach Art Briles, who was fired in May amid the team's sexual assault scandal but visited practice Tuesday, said. "That guy's special now. He's dynamite in a package. He's tough, he's explosive and he's a fierce competitor, and that's really kind of what sets him apart. He loves to win.''

He showed plenty of spunk on Tuesday. Just ask Gilbert.
