Victor Cruz wore long white tube socks to practice Thursday, and he told rookie receiver Sterling Shepard that he was rocking his Keith Van Horn look.
Shepard had never heard of the former NBA player.
“No clue,” Cruz said, shaking his head at the lack of respect for basketball fashion history.
That’s one of the perils of being a 30-year-old player in the NFL. Some of the references fall into the generation gap.
The other peril is a bit more obvious, as it was Monday night, when Cruz missed his first game this season with an ankle injury.
