The Current Top 10 Undrafted NFL Players
By Kyle Davis
#10 Victor Cruz – WR – New York Giants
The Salsa King himself comes in at No. 10. After a monster Senior Year at the University of Massachusetts, Victor Cruz went undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft. In a Preseason game versus the Jets, he finished the game with six catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns. The rest was history.
In 2011 & 2012, Cruz finished the regular season with 80+ receptions, 1500+ & 1000+ yards respectively, and 9 &10 touchdowns. He probably would have done the same in 2013, had a couple of injuries not kept him out of 2 games.
Cruz was a major part of the Giants Superbowl win over the New England Patriots in 2011.
As we all know, since 2014, Cruz has dealt with multiple injuries, including a torn patellar tendon and severe calf injuries. Luckily, he has returned to the field in 2016 and is beginning to look like his old self.
Cruz not only gives the Giants another playmaker but someone who adds some juice to the offense. He plays with such a passion that it rubs off on the rest of his teammates. His importance in the offense could grow if Odell Beckham Jr. doesn’t get his emotions in check.
