Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones held a press conference ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft on Wednesday, and the event was marked by an unexpected moment when former US President Bill Clinton appeared in the room.
Jones held the conference call with son Stephen Jones, head coach Brian Schottenheimer and vice president of football operations Will McClay as the team held the 12th overall pick in the upcoming draft.

About 25 minutes after the start, Clinton walked past the glass windows of the room, which caught the attention of those in attendance and briefly interrupted the conference. Not long after, the former president reappeared and entered the room, where Jones rose to meet him.
At that moment, Jones tripped and nearly fell off the platform, prompting surprised reactions from those present, while footage of the incident quickly went viral.
