The Facts: Cruz was released by the Giants this offseason and wasn't exactly thrilled with how it all went down before signing with the Chicago Bears. He admittedly has something to prove to those who think he's washed up or lost a step. "Every day," Cruz said. "Even after a Super Bowl or after an injury-riddled two years, I always feel like I have something to prove."
Diehards Line:Cruz caught 39 passes for 586 yards and a touchdown in 2016 after missing almost two full seasons with injuries. The 30-year-old receiver says he’s feeling good after a full offseason of training, and he really started to get in a groove the last few weeks of the offseason program in Chicago. He admitted it helps that he’s playing predominantly in the slot, the position where most of his damage came pre-injury. At this time, Cruz isn't anything more than a free-agent fill-in. But we'll be watching for signs he can be more in Chicago.
