Ex-Jet Kellen Winslow Jr. arrested for alleged burglary

Former NFL Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was arrested Thursday afternoon for his alleged connection to a burglary at a mobile-home park in California.

Authorities responded to a possible burglary call at Park Encinitas Mobile Home Park around 2:40 p.m., The San Diego Union Tribune reported.

Winslow Jr. played for the Jets in 2013, when he was suspended four games for performance-enhancing drug use.
