Cruz, 33, was an undrafted free agent out of UMass that burst onto the NFL scene with the Giants in 2010 and his electric play and famous salsa touchdown dance made him a household name. He was a member of the Giants’ Super Bowl XLVI championship team, catching a touchdown in the game.
Cruz’ Giants career was cut short by a torn patellar tendon injury during the 2014 season. He managed a comeback in 2016 and was eventually released by the Giants in 2017. Cruz briefly joined the Chicago Bears before retiring from football in 2018.
