New York Giants star Victor Cruz was the center of attention at Sunday's Fifth Avenue for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade. The popular wide receiver— who is half Puerto Rican and from Paterson, N.J.—danced the salsa with celebrants along the Manhattan parade route and had lots of the ladies speaking in tongues.
Out of the thousands of revelers lined up along Fifth Avenue, there was not one Tim Tebow jersey to be seen— or Mark Sanchez's for that matter.
The gracious receiver stopped to shake hands and his booty from almost everyone who asked the Giants Super Bowl hero along the 15-block stretch of New York— but he almost got his hand yanked off more than once.
Check out the girls who were asked how they felt about Cruz.
