Victor Cruz makes big plays week after week. He has great speed and known as an excellent stop-cut receiver - Cruz runs great routes and eludes tacklers.
As an undrafted free agent in 2010, the Giants' placed Victor Cruz on IR "with a hamstring injury suffered while running sprints during practice in the final preseason game."
The NFL investigated the move and a league spokesman said, "In the case of Cruz, the Giants were in compliance with all rules governing the designation of players on injured reserve." The league has "no issue at all" about the Giants' placing Cruz on IR. ... In short, the Giants' were loaded with receivers and needed to sign a placekicker. Just my opinion.

Sep 25, 2011: Cruz will start Sunday against the Eagles, Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News reports. This should come as little surprise as it was suggested earlier in the week that he would take over for Mario Manningham (concussion). Unfortunately for Cruz, his opportunity to start will come in matchup against Asante Samuel or Nnamdi Asomugha.

Cruz was used sparingly behind Nicks and Manningham until end of Oct and the beginning of Nov in 2011.
His stats have him ranked among the top receivers. This means you can choose from a number of brilliant receivers.
