Eli Manning did not know what he could expect from Victor Cruz when the Giants began training camp a week ago. So far, it's been a pleasant surprise.
"I think he's looked great out there," Manning said on Thursday morning. "He's been out there a bunch, he seems to be feeling good and running his routes the normal way, getting in and out of breaks. I'm excited to see that."
That's not to say he and Cruz were able to pick up right where they left off. They hadn't really worked together for almost 10 months, at least not in a team setting at close-to-full speed.
