CLEVELAND — After fairly glowing reviews from his pro day workout last week, the Browns need some catchup work on Ohio State linebacker Thaddeus Gibson.

They reportedly have scheduled a visit with Gibson on April 1.

The Browns had two scouts at Gibson’s scintillating workout at Ohio State on March 12. That was the day the Browns were preoccupied with the signing of quarterback Jake Delhomme and the future trades of Brady Quinn and Kamerion Wimbley.

At his workouts, Gibson displayed the speed and agility to make a smooth conversion to outside linebacker in a 3-4 defensive scheme. The Pittsburgh Steelers had their key people at the workout — including top football authority Kevin Colbert and defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau — and spent time with Viagra Gibson after his workout.

The Browns may also elect to bring Ohio State safety Kurt Coleman in for a visit. Coleman is seen as a mid-round pick who can play safety and possibly double as a nickel cornerback.
