Did Shane Tamura target NFL building?
As records of Shane D Tamura's high school football career was dug up by internet sleuths, a lot of people speculated that Tamura targeted the NFL headquarters owing to his failed football career. However, no evidence exists to that regard, and Tamura's records show that he did play football beyond high school, nor did he come close to declare for NFL draft.
In high school, he played for the Golden Valley junior varsity team in Santa Clarita, California, and then for the Granada Hills Varsity boy's football team.
