President Trump pardons five former NFL players

President Donald Trump issued pardons to five former NFL players on Thursday, with White House Pardon Czar Alice Marie Johnson making the announcement on social media.

The five pardoned players are Joe Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon.

"As football reminds us, excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to rise again. So is our nation," Johnson wrote on X.

She then added that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones personally told Newton of the news.
