Ira Hillary, one of those revered Super Bowl Bengals, had a juggling act Saturday worthy of a Sam Wyche magic trick that ended in the flash of what could be the first father-son combo in Bengals history.
While son Darius waited in their Montgomery home on the outskirts of Cincinnati to see if he’d get drafted, Ira and wife Cassandra attended the Bengals’ Draft Day party at Paul Brown Stadium to celebrate the fourth- and fifth-round picks.
“It was wonderful. We did it last year and had an absolute blast,” says Ira Hillary, who joined with good friend and Super Bowl linebacker Joe Kelly to sign autographs for the crowd.
