If there's any NFL player in the league who has been true to his roots, it's New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz. Born to a Puerto Rican mother and an African American father, Cruz celebrates his island heritage by salsa dancing in the end zone after scoring touchdowns. He also hasn't been afraid to speak out against actions that he considers racist.
Cruz isn't just loyal to his ethnic origins. He was recently spotted out and about in a shirt that called out to his hometown. Patterson, New Jersey is where Cruz first learned to play the game that made him famous, while he attended the local high school.
