Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones got a surprise drop-in from his old pal, former President

Bill Clinton, at the teen's pre-draft press conference in Frisco, Texas.

This happened on the final day of prep for the NFL draft, turning a routine media chat

into a feel-good moment.

These two shared deep Arkansas roots.

Jones built his oil business there before buying the Cowboys in 1989 and Clinton hails

from Hope.

Jones called him a wonderful friend and president, thrilled to have him stop by.

Reporters washed as Jones spotted Clinton through the glass wall, nearly stumbling off

stage in his rush for a handshake.

The room lit up with laughs while the 42nd president stole the show for a bit.

They swapped stories about Jones' days as a pulling guard on the 1964 Arkansas Razor

Back's championship team.

Clinton, a huge fan back then, rattled off players from memory and joked that at Jones'

old weight he'd get crushed by today's.

300-plus-pound lineman calling him the late Jerry Jones.

Clinton wished them a good draft day before they stepped out, leaving execs like Stephen

Jones and Will McClay to wrap things up smoothly.
