Victor Cruz || "Out of the Blue" || Giants Tribute

[@MaxEnriquez_25]

Before OBJ there was a Victor Cruz 🙌🙏. Thank you for bringing a Superbowl home

[@jcam783]

I'm glad my like was number 80 ! Max ...

[@chip9662]

Don’t forget Hakeem nicks now

[@jasunndakidd1531]

I forgot he was in the g men squad that beat up Tom Brady and dem Pat's the 2nd time

[@turtsw]

before VC there was Amani Toomer

[@jeffreyabbey9592]

Hell of a story Too bad his career was short... David Wilson and Victor Cruz.... Can't imagine if they had long careers in the NFL. Hall of Fame worthy

[@imjusts0medude]

Still got his moment in the light, will never be forgotten...heroic. Obj wishes he was half as good as Cruz.

[@RellshouldBsleep]

David wilson was a waste of a pick fumbled everyball then got hurt and retired... So I can't think fondly of his short fumble plagued career and wonder what if... He was one of many horrible 1st round picks that ultimately led to the firing of Tom...another one of resses's day 1 bust. Please dont mention him and Cruz In the same breath

[@dmartig1]

David Wilson couldn't pass block. You can't be an NFL RB without being able to pass block.

[@DragonaAuntstar]

@@RellshouldBsleep true but he was a playmaker. Hester fumbled a lot too but he made plays that could single-handed win games.

[@andrewmarchese2052]

Started tearing up. Miss that man in Blue! Thanks for making this. It's great. One more time: CRUUUUUUZZZZ

[@jayd76page80]

You know you have a special player when the fans give you your own cheer. CRUUUUUZZZZ Indeed, lol. The guy was awesome.

[@leobarks7443]

Once a Giant always a Giant!

[@kadenfaught4621]

Yup

[@WhodatCf]

Damn right he is

[@0sleepz643]

We will always think of you as a giant cruz like if you agree

[@minecraft-pj1zm]

Yup

[@Dom-hu5fw]

Once a giant always a giant I personally think Victor Cruz is salsa should not be allowed as a touchdown dance anymore and be retired into the national football Hall of Fame because it was so good and the only people who can salsa are the men in blue

[@greglabolt7225]

U cant have only one team claim a dance😂😂

[@orlandorodriguez4908]

coming from a eagles fan I loved watching this guy he was a beast

[@jayd76page80]

That was another thing that was special about this guy. He had mad respect, even from other players and fans in the league. I heard the famous CRUUUZZZ cheer, even in other stadiums.

[@stevenlim2818]

You will be in our hearts forever, Cruz.

[@cb4460]

U can see how good Eli is when he has some time

[@nygtilldeath]

as are most NFL qbs lol

[@cb4460]

s1r_magnus true, but most qbs also have more time than Eli has had recently

[@coldsteelcollector808]

Easily in the top 5 of my all time favorite Giants....Thanks for all the amazing memories Vic!!! CRUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZ 😝

[@mrgarfer]

A legend that could have been an all-time great, without him there's no superbowl. Came out of nowhere to be a top-five receiver in 2011 alongside Nicks who himself was probably top-ten at least. Amazing season, big plays, clutch catches, the salsa and the come from nowhere story we love here in New York. I'll never forget Victor Cruz and want to thank him for the amazing years he gave us.

[@davidbrewer5332]

CRUZ CONTROL ONE OF THE BEST CATCH AND RUN RECEIVERS EVER

[@dman1737]

One of my favorite Giants, amazing story. If TC was still coach he would’ve played 2 more years in the slot but shit happens.

[@xaviervega468]

Injuries killed his career, but 2011 he was absolute magic.

[@dixienormus6167]

Giants legend

[@briansocoron]

McAdoo robbed him in my opinion! He should've gotten the ball more he still got open.

[@charlesgorman4919]

McAdoo was a douche. Good offensive coordinator, horrible head coach.

[@briansocoron]

@@charlesgorman4919 Our offense really wasn't even that good with him. More of an efficient offense.

[@BaneMightarachi60]

Facts!

[@ladellp5135]

Here was my comment about that. And yet to create some cap space for the next season, the greedy ass Giants let him go. Don't believe the bullshit about Cruz loosing a step when he came back. He pick up where he left off. But then I noticed Eli looking him off on quite a few plays as the season went on. I knew then, the money hungry origination Giants were going to let him go. His stats didn't go down. The Giants integrity did. I will always be a Giant fan. But I will always hate them for what they did to this Giant icon. Thank you Victor for your passion, your play, your love for the team and it's fans. And more importantly, the joy you brought to the NYG's organization.

[@jazzvalentino4871]

Simply awesome, Mike! Thank you for making & sharing this amazing VC tribute. No doubt it put a smile on my face, jacked me up & even put a cough, cough...uhmm, tear in my eye & hit me after seeing & remembering him go down clutching his knees during that “sick to my stomach scene” against the Eagles. Keep up the great work, brother! 🤙🏼

[@sagekult5044]

Right!!!

[@graywolf2107]

He had the best preseason game I EVER seen.

[@18Dominick]

one word Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzz.

[@EricJGonzalez]

May the salsa dance live forever the hearts of all NY Giants fans!

[@kenrickjacob1161]

We miss victor cruz explosiveness

[@benrosenthal9772]

Thank you for supporting my town and friends in a time of need.

[@MRCZML]

Gracias por siempre representarnos y darnos inspiración Cruz 🇵🇷🇵🇷💪🏽 to all Puerto ricans yunggen!

[@BilionaireBoysSwag]

All our great WRs have a SB with Eli. Plax, Nicks, Cruz. Hope Odell gets his.

[@stevenlim2818]

Hopefully Odell gets his ring. Probably not with Eli tho.

[@coleh9162]

Didn’t age well

[@jayd76page80]

F Odell

[@lawaskichisolm9995]

Toomer

[@fab5frk]

Stephen Baker was nice & Lionel Manuel was our first real burner.

[@hugolblue8325]

Que viva la salsa, gracias Victor Cruz ,saludos desde México!!

[@kurumais]

i LOVED watching this guy play football . he is my mom's favorite player

[@danielsmith7145]

True class act! Can’t believe the 2011-2012 super bowl was 7 years ago already it’s just so crazy. That season was special. Watching Cruz play every time was special too. Iconic player. I so wish the giants would get him back on the team, he and Beckham and Shephard would be a heluva WR corps.

[@ryanciavarra6212]

This is truely amazing I wish the salsa king was still playin💙

[@deadpoolman5689]

can we get a "CRRRUUUUUUZZ" just for the helluva it, Deserves a gold jacket

[@nygtruefan1686]

Giants hall of fame..

[@DevilSpawn75]

Thank you for all you were able to do for us bro and that Super Bowl ring, we miss you dawg, stay blessed Cruz.

[@travisbickle9953]

Thank you MIKE TOO NICE for a great video. You are TOO nice !!

[@daltonn__]

Sad to see, I got the privilege to meet Cruz and he was one of the nicest guys ever. Great player.

[@piercesmith1465]

What a great tribute! The 12 who thumbed it down, we will find you! #BigBlue #ThanksforthememoriesVictor His career was tragically cut short but those few seasons, how much more will they resonate in the hearts and minds of the Big Blue faithful than players who played 10, 12 or more seasons?

[@richardk7930]

Thank you Cruuuuuuz

[@billyeichelberger8289]

Thank you victor Cruz. Always a ny giant 🤗

[@murfeezlaw]

Still watching...1 1/2 years later. I miss him

[@gnmorales1]

Cruz is like a legend in my eyes, I wish his career lasted longer but I will never forget that run he went on while he was still playing, #salute to a Paterson NJ warrior!! #cruuuuuuzz

[@kengoodrich4755]

Thank you V. Cruz!!!

[@cruzej804]

After Jerry Rice, my personal favorite WR. Gracias Víctor!

[@aidanmj1927]

thank you victor cruz #1

[@rramnarine8919]

Thank You Victor..it was truly a pleasure to watch No 80 ..will miss the Salsa Dance at the End Zone..#GMEN4LIFE

[@jeffreyandreu2860]

Although his career was cut short he was electric. He was a great story. He was a great Giant!

[@travisbickle9953]

Bien hecho Borri !! #80. Well done Nueyo Rican NYC. You will be always in our hearts. NY Giants

[@jrodriguez1257]

CRRUUUUUUZZZZ

[@zoeyjafferally3475]

Oh man I so miss you so much Victor Cruz. Thank you so very much for all you've done for my favourite football team The New York Giants. You sure are going to be missed dearly. I feel that The New York Giants got robbed of such a great talent. Victor Cruz was and still is a beast. Victor Cruz is so Hall of Fame worthy. I literally got chocked up and got teary eyed watching this. 😪😪😪😪😪😪😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 (ONCE A GIANTS ALWAYS A GIANTS)

[@biggregginfrank]

My favorite of all time. 🐐

[@jyoung9298]

My dude V. Cruz.. So sad to see you go bro. Thanks for getting us our ship!!! Gone but will never be forgotten!!!

[@Scarletbull]

Cruz did more than replace S. Smith. He became better than Smith. For a guy than ran a 4.47, he sure looked more like 4.37 WR; he had a bursting acceleration. Dude was shifty like a slot & ran hard like a RB with good hands (up until 2014). How Cruz didn’t make the 2011 Pro Bowl is beyond me. Having said that, Cruz regressed in 2014, the yr of his injury. Dude was leading the league in dropped passes (6). It was down hill from there. Nonetheless, he was a solid GIANTS WR for three years & wish him the best on his future endeavors.

[@josuereyes5775]

Scarletbull his cuts was insane as soon as he had the ball cuts right through the defenders and be out I'm like damn that's good look how he did it against the Bucs, Texans and Jets

[@Scarletbull]

Josue Reyes It’s always sweeter when it’s the second class citizens, step bros. that are the cheesy jets. 😉

[@jayd76page80]

And he was a major contributor in getting the Giants another ring. Kid was awesome.

[@josepabon9292]

Always gonna love Cruz Giants for ever Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzzzzz

[@marcusfarmer4706]

What a great season in 2011 Victor Cruzzzzzz I loved that 99 yards play . I miss the salsa dancing much love. Big Blue for life

[@jasonmandeville3412]

I very much miss dancing the salsa with him in my living room on Sundays

[@robingilmore3661]

Thank you Victor

[@battlestar1788]

From a patriots fan I always love watching this guy .. I love watching Odell but he play around too much and get too Temper Cruze got that speed to run and catch without hesitation.. that full throttle speed catch and to the end zone missed this guy

[@silviopeters]

Always in our hearts!!! Thank you for everything! CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ!

[@jayd76page80]

If you were a Giants fan in his day, you had to love Victor Cruz. I remember watching his first preseason game vs the Jets. Wow, I have never seen a kid come out of no where and just blow up the way he did right from the start. It was so disappointing when he got hurt that first season.

[@gras1hoppa420]

Since that Preseason Game aginst the Jets, I became a Victor Cruz fan.. he made so many big plays in big spots,,,, Wa never the same after the knee injury.. what a player though

[@murfeezlaw]

What a legend Cruz is. Great video Mike. Thanks for posting. I started tearing up too. I miss seeing Victor in a Giants uniform. Talk about Giants pride!!!! I still wear his jersey to games. He has such a great story and earned his spot back with the Giants. I feel like he was robbed his last season with the Giants. Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuz!!!! I wish him luck with ESPN.

[@xnxtlvlx4194]

This guys was a beast! I hated that we lost him. But he will always be Big Blue to me!

[@dontaeclarkjr8379]

Thank you for making this💯

[@brianhoward875]

Mike too Nice thank you for the great NY Giants Content

[@okgood8529]

Nicks n Cruz was my favorite Gmen wideout tandem. Explosive, great hands, good guys.

[@imjusts0medude]

You made us proud to be Gmen fans, Cruz...you're a hero in my book.

[@marcusfarmer4706]

thanks for helping bring a Ring to New York

[@jaycompany4886]

Vic was a great wr before the injury.....he came out of nowhere to become a champion.....it took alot of hard work n determination....he never quit.

[@ryanespiritu4756]

i didnt wanna watch bc i didn’t wanna cry... i’m so sad right now.. Love You King

[@utseytrevor5548]

Cruz much respect ✊🏾 it’s been fun to watch you as a GIANTs glad you was on our side lol!

[@carloslopez1582]

He was awesome.

[@BearerOfBadNews]

Fantastic player, phenomenal talent, Career cut short. Thank you Victor for teaching us all how to salsa. #NyGiantsPride

[@delvinrussell]

One the greatest giant WRs of alltime

[@joncoda365]

CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ!!!! Dude was a great player.

[@KPrayfortheworld]

Was crying a bit. Cruz was the greatest. Didn’t realize he scored that many times 👍🤷🏼‍♂️

[@andrewoliver9686]

I know this is a video on Mr Cruz, but damn...the Giants were once a powerhouse offense. O line was looking great back in 2014-16

[@steveoblue]

I just realized how much this man has done for us, the injury part made me sad, the return part gave me a smile and thinking of us releasing him put a frown on my face. But happy retirement Vic!!!✊✊✊

[@dorianbernard6921]

What a freak injury , thanks Cruzzzz!

[@kingphantom2312]

The best ever vic cruz the blues will miss you

[@victorralev8353]

The salsa man. The reason I love the giants

[@tylerbaselice7590]

Thank u victor 😭

[@jameshollister8294]

I love Cruz we had some good players back in the day .And have good ones now

[@NYG5]

THIS guy was a real playmaker who made man plays in the biggest games. Beckham disappeared in all the big spots. So much heart, my only gripe against the guy is he went along with the WRs going on the party boat before the 2016 playoffs instead of keeping the younger guys focused

[@davidsearby6314]

my favorite Giant

[@cdh348]

Much as I love OBJ, I'm not sure we've ever had a better big-time clutch receiver than Victor Cruz. Certainly, he, OBJ, and Homer Jones are the 3 best Giants receivers in the last 50 years. Imagine what our offense would've been like these last few years if he'd never gotten hurt!

[@benedettomansueto4016]

Amazing man

[@murfeezlaw]

I've watched this vid like 10 times. It still kills me that he's not a Giant anymore. He was held back in 2016. It was his first year back from injury and he still had almost 600 yds receiving. There are starting WRs in the NFL averaging less than that per season.

[@henrykjohn78]

That injury did rob him of some of his speed sadly

[@jayd76page80]

yeah he was never the same after that injury. It was amazing he was able to come back at all. Tells ya the kind of heart he has.

[@catdaddy3164]

OBJ COULDN'T CARRY VICTOR CRUZ' JOCK COMES TO CLASS ANOTHER UNIVERSE

[@jayd76page80]

Exactly. When Cruz went down, you had eagle players coming up to him to wish him well. You'd never see that with Odell. Heck other teams seem to do all they can to kill Odell. Its why he cant get through a season without getting hurt.

[@btcurry1]

Well, Cruz and Shepard. I for one thank God that head case Odell is gone. Such a shame too, he's an amazing talent. This is Barkley's team now.
