New York Giants star wide receiver and Super Bowl XLVI Champion Victor Cruz was living a rags-to-riches story. Then, in 2014, the story took a disastrous turn when Cruz sustained a devastating knee injury that ended his season last October. Cruz’s improbable rise to football stardom, demoralizing injury, and his dramatic attempt at a comeback are the subject of I AM GIANT: VICTOR CRUZ, a SHOWTIME Sports original documentary film, created in conjunction with SpringHill Entertainment, set to premiere this fall on SHOWTIME.
