Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is going to adhere to social distancing guidelines and will be home alone to select draft picks during the NFL’s virtual draft tonight. Jones even joked that no one will be around to stop him from making impulsive decisions on draft night.

One of the things I’m not going to miss is when I came out of those draft rooms over the weekend, my old shins used to have big old bruises on them,” Jones said. “That was from Stephen kicking me under the table for three straight days relative to some of our decision-making. I know that we have a serious conference here, but I think I’m going to kind of miss that physical punching that goes on. I told him one time, I asked him where he got his strength when he was 16 years old, he had his uncle down, about to kill him, choked him. He was a big boy, that uncle. And I said, ‘I don’t feel that when I’m rasslin with you.’ He said, ‘Well, you don’t squeeze your daddy as hard as you can.’ The point is, I’m going to miss a little of that punching around at the table as we’re conducting this draft.”
Cowboys fans are already starting to get nervous about Jerry making draft picks by himself considering he nearly drafted Johnny Manziel all those years ago.
