Victor Cruz, Odell Beckham Jr. bring star power to fantasy ad

The Giants have been star-starved at wide receiver for most of their 90-year history, despite significant improvement in the 21st century.

Their last NFL leader in receptions? Tod Goodwin, who had 26 in 1935.

Perhaps you don't remember Tod. The late co-owner Wellington Mara, who was 18 that autumn, certainly did. He once told me Goodwin messed up pass patterns so often teammates took to calling him "Dingbat."

Anyway, times have changed. You knew that already, but the latest illustration is a new NFL ad featuring a binary star system at wide receiver that has fans abuzz.
