Years: 2010-2016

Legacy: Super Bowl Champion (XLVI); Pro Bowl (2012)

Time to Salsa.

Victor Cruz burst onto the scene in 2011 and never looked back. The undrafted free agent finally got his chance after a year and a half, and one legendary day in Philadelphia he took advantage – burning the Eagles to the tune of 110 yards and two touchdowns.

Cruz’s play catapulted him into the hearts of Giants’ fans everywhere – shocking the world when he went on to catch 82 passes for 1536 yards and nine touchdowns after being thrust into the lineup. Famously, he gave the team the best Christmas gift they could ask for – his 99-yard touchdown against the NY Jets is still seen as the launching point for the team’s Super Bowl run.

A torn patella tendon took Cruz’s prime away from him way too early, but the receivers’ play prior made him timeless.
