The New England Patriots have two legitimate stars lining up across from each other at training camp. On Thursday, their ongoing competition became a little more heated.
Cornerback Christian Gonzalez and wide receiver A.J. Brown exchanged words and pointed fingers during a physical one-on-one period at Patriots practice. The two eventually had to be separated before the confrontation escalated. The exchange did not become a full fight, but it offered another reminder that New England's top receiver and top cornerback have no interest in giving each other an easy afternoon.
Gonzalez reportedly won three individual reps against Brown during the session. One pass breakup led to the two stars jawing at each other near the end zone. The verbal exchange quickly became more animated. Gonzalez and Brown pointed at each other before teammates stepped between them and moved the practice forward.
Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte was among those who intervened. He explained afterward that he wanted to prevent the situation from becoming something more serious.
