The Eagles love to hit on late-round or undrafted collegiate talent, and local linebacker Johnny Buchanan could be a player to watch in the coming weeks.
The Brick, New Jersey, was a tackling machine at FCS Delaware, and he’s expected to give an up-close look to Howie Roseman and company at the team’s annual local pro day, according to Ryan Fowler.
Fresh off a Pro Day where he ran mid 4.5s and jumped 40” in the vert, Delaware LB Johnny Buchanan will attend the Eagles, Giants, and Jets’ local day in the coming weeks.

The 6-foot, 230-pound Buchanan was a three-times All-CAA selection that led the FCS in tackles (150) in 2022 while also logging 8.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one pass breakup.
Buchanan had nine games with at least ten tackles, including five with at least 15, and would follow the Reed Blankenship path if he goes undrafted.
