Hamilton Tiger-Cats sign first-round draft pick Darius Ciraco to deal
HAMILTON — Offensive lineman Darius Ciraco wasted little time joining his new Hamilton Tiger-Cats teammates Tuesday.
Ciraco participated in the CFL club’s training camp session at Ron Joyce Stadium shortly after signing a contract with Hamilton. The Ticats selected the six-foot-three, 292-pound native of Burlington, Ont., sixth overall in the 2018 CFL draft out of the University of Calgary.
Ciraco played 28 regular-season games at Calgary from 2014-17. He was a 2015 Canada West all-star and second-team All-Canadian.
“It’s good to get him plugged into what we’re doing,” Hamilton head coach June Jones said. “He’ll get a chance to get in there (with) a lot of reps.
