Salsa-dancing New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz won't be appearing on Dancing With The Stars. Cruz has apparently turned down a request to appear on the show.
↵Cruz has risen from NFL nobody to cult hero status with record-setting play on the field and a magnetic personality that draws people to him and gets fans at MetLife Stadium chanting his name when he catches a pass.
↵Cruz recently salsa-danced during halftime of a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, showing off how to do his now-famous touchdown dance.
↵Athletes have won the competition several times. Hines Ward of the Pittsburgh Steelers was the latest, winning with Kym Johnson in spring of 2011.
↵Good to see, though, that Cruz is keeping his feet on the ground and trying to keep his focus on football. The Giants are, after all, preparing for a playoff game Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the Atlanta Falcons.
