President Donald Trump has pardoned five former professional football players – one posthumously – for various crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking. The pardons were announced on Friday by White House pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson. Ex-NFL players Joe Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon were granted clemency. Johnson said the pardons reflect a 'commitment to second chances.' Klecko pleaded guilty to perjury, Newton to drug trafficking, Lewis to attempting to set up a drug deal, Henry to conspiracy to traffic cocaine, and Cannon to counterfeiting.
