What is it like to play in a Super Bowl?
It’s a question every professional football player strives to answer by the end of their career.
One former player who can is retired Pro Bowl wide receiver Victor Cruz.
Cruz was a member of the New York Giants Super Bowl-winning team in 2012; he had four receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown to help his team defeat the New England Patriots 21-17 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
“It’s unlike any other game that you’ll ever be a part of, especially as a player,” said Cruz, who spoke to Business Insider as part of his partnership with Finish Dishwasher Detergent, which offers hosts support in the kitchen on game day.
As the countdown to Super Bowl LIX continues, here’s what else Cruz had to say about the big game — and the weeks leading up to it — and what other notable players have said about experiencing the biggest game of the year.
