New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz has been one of the team’s most beloved players ever since he burst onto the scene during the 2011 Super Bowl run.
As he went from undrafted free agent to Pro Bowler, his end zone salsa dancing, New Jersey roots, and good nature endeared fans enough to bellow the cheer “Cruuuuuzzz!” every time he caught the football.
Unfortunately, a torn patellar tendon in 2014 followed by calf surgery in 2015, forced Cruz to go 700 days without playing in an NFL game. After being sidelined for so long, the veteran receiver restructured his contract with New York to reduce his $7.
