EXCLUSIVE

imageKellen Winslow Jr.[1] is breaking his silence about his felony burglary arrest ... insisting he absolutely did NOT commit any crime. 

The ex-NFL star issued a statement through his attorney, Harvey A. Steinberg, saying, "Mr. Winslow emphatically denies committing any burglary."

"He would have no need to burglarize or steal anything from anyone at a trailer park. He looks forward to being vindicated once this matter is fully adjudicated through the court system."

34-year-old Winslow was arrested[2] Thursday afternoon in the San Diego area after cops say he broke into a mobile home community and stole something out of one of the units. 

Winslow made more than $40 MILLION during his NFL career -- and his attorney is essentially suggesting that he has no financial need to steal anything ... ever.
