[edit] Professional career
Buchanon signed to the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent. Despite a great showing in the 2006 Hall of Fame Game win against the Philadelphia Eagles, he did not make the team's final 53-man roster, but he was signed to the practice squad.
After the Raiders were hit with a string of injuries late in the year, resulting in several players being placed on the injured reserve, Buchanon was activated from the practice squad on December 20, 2006, and signed to the 53-man roster. For the last few games of the regular season, he was even on the 40-man roster active for the games. He saw very limited playing time, but still made one catch for 9 yards in a losing contest against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16.
On August 16, 2007 the Raiders released him. On August 21, 2007 the Giants picked him off waivers and released him 6 days later. On September 20, 2007 he was picked up by the Chiefs and put on their Practice squad. [1]
in 2008, he has resigned with the Raiders.
