You never quite know what Jerry Jones will say during a press conference, and now you can add another uncertainty: you never know who might join a Cowboys press conference.

During a pre-draft press conference, Cowboys leadership, including owner Jerry Jones, was interrupted by an unexpected guest. Jerry Jones announced, "President Clinton is coming through the door."

Former President Bill Clinton toured the Star on Tuesday morning. Clinton, who served as the 42nd President from 1993 to 2001, was previously the Governor of Arkansas, which is Jones' home state. The two have maintained a close friendship over the years.

"He's been a wonderful, not only President, but friend over the years, and I'm really happy to have you here today," Jones said.

President Clinton left the room shortly after sharing stories from the past, including the Cowboys' visits to the White House in 1993 and 1994 following their Super Bowl victories. He also indirectly hinted that the Cowboys have not returned to the White House since his presidency. Perhaps they will find more success as we approach the 2026 NFL Draft.

"Have a good Draft Day," said President Clinton to the room and owner Jerry Jones.
