Victor Cruz, whose fairy tale NFL career and meteoric rise to fame made him one of the most popular Giants players of this century, officially announced his retirement as a player on Tuesday. He also announced his newest job as an NFL analyst for ESPN.
Cruz, 31, who last played in an NFL game in 2016, announced his retirement in a video on the website Uninterrupted. He was released by the Giants after that season and signed with the Bears but was cut before the start of the 2017 season.
"My journey hasn't been the easiest," Cruz said in the video.
