"Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe might have told the story of a girl being stashed in every room at the Chiefs hotel for a game in San Diego in 2007, but a former teammate denied his account Thursday.

"The things he's saying are not true," said defensive lineman Jimmy Wilkerson, who played five seasons for the Chiefs, the last being in 2007. "Security is so tight at the hotels. They wouldn't allow your family members to come up to the rooms, let alone have girls waiting in the rooms for you. If they did that, it affects the Chiefs owners, the organization and the coaches. It makes it look like the coaches let this kind of stuff go on, and I know Coach (Herm) Edwards did not do that.

"I don't remember the San Diego trip specifically, but I can tell you there were no girls up on our level."

Bowe is quoted in the May 31 issue of ESPN the Magazine saying that some players arranged for several women to be at the team hotel for the 2007 game in San Diego. Bowe has been unavailable for comment since his comments became public, and the Chiefs have declined comment on the matter.

The Chiefs upset the Chargers in that game, winning 30-16. Bowe had one of his best games for the Chiefs, catching eight passes for a career-high 164 yards, including a 51-yard touchdown.

Wilkerson said he spoke up Thursday because he was concerned all of the players on that 2007 team were implicated by Bowe's comments.

"I was a part of that '07 team, and it looks like everybody on that team was a part of this," said Wilkerson, who played the last two seasons for Tampa Bay and recently signed with New Orleans. "He's talking about everybody on the team whether they're married or they're single. I've been married for about eight years. That kind of makes me mad because the married guys respect their wives but it makes us look bad. Now we have to answer to our families and to our wives and let them know we didn't do anything like that and there was nothing like that going on.""
