Now that it appears Victor Cruz has played his last game with the New York Giants, we take a look at his top five plays with the squad.

However, his career has taken a turn for the worse since he tore his patellar tendon against the Eagles in 2014, and missed a season and a half. Upon his return this season, Cruz struggled to get going, only racking up 39 receptions and one touchdown (that touchdown came in Week 1).

Regardless, Cruz is permanently embedded in Giants lore after his spectacular 2011-12 season, where he racked up a franchise record 1,536 yards, along with 82 catches and nine touchdowns.

While his time with the Giants may soon be coming to an end, his salsa dance and 2011-12 heroics will live on in Giants history. Here are the top five plays by Victor Cruz as a New York Giant.
