Victor Cruz may do his famous "Silk City Salsa" if he scores a touchdown in Sunday's NFC wild-card playoff game against Atlanta, but he won't be "Dancing With The Stars."
Cruz's agent received an official letter two days ago, asking the Giants wide receiver to participate in the hit television show. Cruz turned down the invitation.
"I just wanna be focused on football and what's to come," Cruz said Friday. "I'm just not at the point in my career where I feel like I need to do that."
Cruz, 25, didn't rule out participating in the future.
"Maybe in a couple years down the line, if it ever comes back up," he said.
Cruz was asked how he thought he'd do.
"I think I'd be all right," he said. "Anytime you gotta practice 20 hours a week for it, you should be able to do pretty good."
Can he do any other dances besides the salsa?
"I got a little bit of rhythm," Cruz said. "I don't know how good I’d be at the tango or something like that, but if I was to do it, I think I'd be all right."
Cruz set the Giants' single-season record with 1,536 receiving yards this season. He hauled in 82 receptions and scored nine touchdowns.

Jacquian Williams did some individual work today. He's rehabbing and resting his PCL injury that slowed him down last year.

So to recap, Giants didn't have their top two WRs at voluntary OTA. Nicks would've been limited but Coughlin wasn't thrilled.

Coughlin sounded disappointed that Nicks is not here at voluntary OTA. Nicks would've been limited though as he makes way back.

Eli has been looking for Louis Murphy a lot, especially on deep passes. Jerry Reese said he believes Murphy can add deep threat element

Don't see Hakeem Nicks on field at OTAs. Chris Snee and David Baas might be inside rehabbing. No Victor Cruz at voluntary OTA.

That's right Wisey, love the Spartan! RT @MikeWiseguy: used to hate Randolph as a knucklehead Blazer. Now I love him as an old-head Grizzly.
