Shane Olivea is an American football offensive tackle for the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League. He was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the seventh round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He played college football at Ohio State. Olivea has also been a member of the New York Giants. After growing up in Long Beach, New York and attending Lawrence High School his senior year, Olivea played for Ohio State University from 2000-2003. He was a three-year starter and a two-time member of the All-Big Ten second team. Originally valued as a third rounder, Olivea strained his pectoral muscle... lifting weights about a week before the draft and this scared away a lot of teams. One of which was the Miami Dolphins, who wanted to take Olivea in the first day, but called just before their 3rd round pick to tell Olivea that they took him off their draft board because they thought he would need surgery. A. J. Smith, excited at the fact Olivea was off many draft boards, took him with one of their final picks. Concerning Olivea's injury status, AJ said, “We checked him out, like a lot of clubs, but medical staffs vary.
