EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — When Victor Cruz scored his first regular-season NFL touchdown Sept. 25, he immediately broke into a salsa dance in the end zone. It was meant as a tribute to his grandmother, who used to make him glide around the house with her when he was a child, but it became a point of pride for many Hispanics.
That night, when Carolina Coach Ron Rivera saw the dance on television, he said he smiled as two thoughts popped into his mind.
“For one, I wish I had his rhythm,” Rivera said. “And two, it’s nice to see something like that since there aren’t a whole lot of us out there on the field.”
