The Facts:
Nicks' offseason has been full of question marks after he stayed away from the New York Giants' facility while hoping for a new contract. He then missed training-camp practice Sunday
with tightness in his groin, further fueling the concerned questions. However, at least one man close to the situation has no doubts about the wide receiver's importance to the Giants. "I think the No. 1 wideout is Hakeem Nicks," Victor Cruz said on Monday.

Cruz continued: "I mean, he's been here longer, he understands this offense. He's our big-play guy, he's on the outside. So I definitely think he's our No. 1 receiver, there's no doubt about it. ..." As NFL.com's Kevin Patra suggested, while there might not be any doubt in Cruz's mind, Nicks will have to be healthy the entire season to be paid like one. Without reading too much into his current groin issue, Nicks isn't off to all that great a start this summer. We'll be looking for the veteran to turn that around in the coming month.
