UMass great Victor Cruz salsas into football sunset

Salsa, no more.

UMass alum and former Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz retired Tuesday, simultaneously announcing the kickoff to his career as a football analyst for ESPN.

Side note: Over/under on salsa dances ESPN forces Cruz into performing on set in the first week: 20.

Proud of this guy, already hard at work on his first day in the new gig! Looking forward to chatting all things football with @TeamVic this fall at @espn pic.twitter.com/iCrW2zQKUP
