MIAMI BEACH — Victor Cruz reacted like a lot of Giants’ fans when he heard the news about the team’s decision to hire 38-year-old Joe Judge as head coach.

“I’m not going to lie. At first, I was scratching my head,” the former Giants receiver told Newsday on Wednesday at Radio Row at the Super Bowl media center.

He became convinced — actually, Judge himself convinced Cruz — that the Giants found the right guy.
