Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had an old friend drop by on the final day of preparations for the NFL draft: former President Bill Clinton. The pair with deep Arkansas roots shared a few thoughts and laughs with reporters at the Cowboys’ annual pre-draft news conference. Jones gave the room a brief scare when he stumbled trying to step off the stage to join Clinton. Once Jones steadied himself, the focus was squarely on the 42nd U.S. president and the man who also carries the titles of president and general manager of the Cowboys.
