Victor Cruz (* 11. November 1986 in Paterson, New Jersey) is an American football wide receiver for the New York Giants of the National Football League. He was an undrafted free agent signed by the Giants in the offseason. He played college football at the University of Massachusetts.[2]

Early years

Cruz attended Paterson Catholic High School in Paterson, New Jersey.[2] Cruz also attended Paterson Public School #21, also in Paterson, NJ. He is of African American and Puerto Rican descent. He completed a post-graduate semester at Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton, Maine.

College career

Cruz finished his career at UMass with 131 catches ranking him fourth on the all-time UMass receptions list, despite the fact that he didn't start a game until his junior season.[2][3] He scored 11 touchdowns in his career and had just under 2,000 receiving yards. Cruz was named a first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association wide receiver for the years 2008 and 2009.

Professional career

Cruz went undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft and was later signed by the New York Giants.

2010 season

Cruz's big NFL game was a Monday night pre-season game against the New York Jets on August 16, 2010 when Cruz helped the Giants win 31-16 by catching 6 passes for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns. He would finish the preseason leading the NFL with 297 receiving yards, tied for the preseason lead with 4 touchdown catches and ranked second overall with 15 catches, and was selected to the Giants' 53-man regular season roster. Cruz played in three games at the start of the season, without recording a catch before a hamstring injury placed him on injured reserve for the remainder of the year.[4]

2011 season

After the Giants lost Steve Smith to free agency, Cruz began the season as the team's fourth wide receiver, before injuries to both Mario Manningham and Domenik Hixon led to him receiving a larger role in the Giants win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Cruz finished that game with 3 catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns, the first and second of his career.

On October 2, with the Giants trailing 27-24 to the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth quarter with under three minutes left to play, Cruz made a reception and went down without being touched at the Cardinals 29-yard line and released the ball as he got up. Wrongly believing that Cruz had fumbled since he was never touched, a Cardinal picked up the ball as if it was still alive.[5] On the next play, Eli Manning threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks.

In a Week 5 36-25 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Cruz caught a one-handed 68-yard touchdown reception off a tipped pass. Later in the game, Cruz also lost a fumble, allowing Seattle to tie the game at 22 and with the Giants down 29-25 inside the 20, Cruz slipped on his route with the ball in the air and in an attempt to catch the ball, tipped it into the arms of Brandon Browner, who returned it 94 yards for the game clinching touchdown.

In Week 16, he tied the NFL record with a 99-yard touchdown catch against the New York Jets. His 89 yards after the catch on the play is the most by a receiver on a 99-yard reception. In the same game he also surpassed Amani Toomer as the record holder for the most single-season receiving yards by a Giant. Cruz was named a Pro Bowl alternate for the 2011 season.

In Week 17, in a do-or-die game against the Dallas Cowboys for the final playoff slot in the NFC, Cruz had 6 receptions for 178 yards, including the game's first score with a 74 yard touchdown catch, as well as a 4th quarter 44 yard catch on third and 7 that put the Giants in position to make a field goal that put the Giants up by two scores. The Giants added another touchdown, a 4-yard pass from Manning to Nicks, setting a record of 15 4th quarter TD passes in one season for Eli Manning and beat the Cowboys 31-14. Cruz finished the season with a single season franchise record 1,536 receiving yards on 82 receptions and 9 touchdowns. Cruz was named a Second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press.[6]

Against San Francisco in the NFC title game, Cruz had 10 grabs for 142 yards—all in the first half—as the Giants edged the 49ers, 20-17, in overtime to advance to Super Bowl XLVI.

Cruz has celebrated nearly every touchdown with salsa dance. The New York Daily News even had a dance instructor write about his technique.[7] Cruz's touchdown dance led to him receiving an offer to appear on Dancing with the Stars, which he turned down.[8]

Records

His 1,536 receiving yards are a single season franchise record for the New York Giants.
