Shared Arkansas Roots

The pair reminisced about Arkansas ties: Jones recalled a 1990s White House visit after a Cowboys Super Bowl and mentioned Clinton's fondness for Razorbacks lore. Jones also noted his time as a co-captain on the 1964 Arkansas team and said Clinton had followed the Hogs closely in his youth.

Context and Color

Clinton had been in Boston on April 20 to support daughter Chelsea at the Boston Marathon. The Cowboys enter the draft with the 12th and 20th overall picks on April 23 in Pittsburgh. Jones, who bought the team in 1989 after making his fortune in oil and gas, has had a long public relationship with national politics, including past donations to President Trump and a controversial January remark about Venezuela that drew attention.
