Clinton Surprises Jones at Cowboys Draft

0:00On April 22nd, Jerry Jones was mid-press conference ahead of the NFL draft, talking Cowboys' business at the star when surprise hit former president. Bill Clinton strolled right in. Jones spotted him and announced to everyone President Clinton's joining us. The 42nd press, who led from 1993 to 2001, popped in during his tour of the facility. These two go way back, bonded over Arkansas roots. Clinton was governor there before the White House, and that's Jones' home state. They've kept a tight friendship for decades, with Jones calling him not just a great leader, but a true pal. Clinton stuck around briefly, swapping old stories like the Cowboys' White House trips after their Super Bowl wins in 1993, and 1994. The room lit up with that history, and he gave a subtle nod to how Dallas hasn't celebrated there since his days. He wrapped with some draft day wisdom, telling Jones and the crew to have a good one, then bounced. Ties like this remind us how NFL worlds collide with politics.

1:01As the Cowboys' eye picks in playoffs, who knows? Maybe more star power and Super Bowl runs are on the horizon.
