The former Giants WR talked about his quarterback’s Hall of Fame candidacy, golf, and much more.

Victor Cruz, on behalf of Captain Morgan, took the time to speak with SB Nation’s RJ Ochoa during the week leading up to Super Bowl 59, and he shared his thoughts on his former teammate, quarterback Eli Manning, and the potential for him to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“Eli Manning is a Hall of Famer because of the consistency he’s had over a number of years in the league, as well as a two-time Super Bowl winner,” Cruz said.

Cruz touched on a bunch of other topics, like the reason he’s not wearing his Super Bowl ring this week, his thoughts on golf and his favorite golfers, what the Giants need to do in the 2025 NFL Draft, and more.
