It’s not every day that a Dallas Cowboys press conference is interrupted, let alone by a former President of the United States.
Former President Bill Clinton crashed the Cowboys’ pre-draft press conference Wednesday.
Jones turned to his left when he heard the commotion and started laughing.
“Look at this here. Come into this house,” Jones said.

Clinton entered the room and said he was “negotiating the project,” laughing. Jones left the podium to greet Clinton and stumbled as he approached him.
“He’s been a wonderful president, but also a friend over the years, and he’s really happy to have you here today,” Jones said.
Clinton said he was happy to see Jones and wished him a good draft day. Jones then explained his relationship with the media and why they are so important to him.

“They spent their lives and chose to spend their lives in sports and that’s why they’re here. And they could have been doctors or lawyers,” Jones said. “And so when they choose my you know what, and they do, I say guys, ‘We’re actually cousins because we both chose to spend our years playing sports here.’ So be a little gentler if you want.
“And it goes there, but a great group of people. They do a great job and they are a big part of what sports and what the NFL is about. And it will be without a doubt the biggest press conference in the NFL today.”
Clinton’s appearance will only add to the attention the Cowboys are receiving as the draft approaches. The Cowboys have the No. 12 and No. 20 picks in the NFL Draft, making them one of six teams with multiple first-round picks.

The NFL Draft begins Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
