PS: I know that you're a salsa dancer and do a dance after every touchdown. Where did you learn your moves?
VC: I'm half Puerto Rican — my mom is Puerto Rican, and we lived with my grandmother for eight years before we moved to our own place. She was always dancing and always had music on, whether it was a holiday or a Tuesday. So she would teach me all the dances — merengue, salsa, bachata — everything that was a part of my culture. And then when I got to the league, I wanted to have something cool to represent me and my culture for when I got in the end zone, and I guess the salsa kind of stuck with me.
PS: Do you need music, or can you just do it?
VC: I can just do it; I got the steps down after years of practice.
PS: Is there a song you kind of hear in your head when you're doing it?
VC: There's an Elvis Crespo song — I can't remember it off the top of my head — but it always comes to me when I'm in the end zone, ironically. He was a really good salsa artist, and Marc Anthony, as well. My mom loves him.
PS: I also heard that you love attending fashion shows. Are you going to go to Fashion Week?
VC: I will. I'm attending three or four shows in New York, and that's a hectic week with the NBA All-Star game and all that stuff, so I'm excited for that.
PS: What shows are you going to see?
VC: I'm going to the Perry Ellis, Ovadia & Sons, Public School, and John Elliott. Kind of short and sweet, not too many shows, the perfect number.
