A national champion at Michigan and son of a seven-time Pro Bowler, working his way back from a rookie-year injury.
Myles Hinton comes from NFL bloodlines, the son of former Colts and Falcons lineman Chris Hinton, and arrived in Philadelphia as a sixth-round pick with a national championship pedigree from Michigan. An injury wiped out his entire rookie season, leaving him to prove himself in 2026.
Path to the league
The Eagles selected Hinton in the sixth round (No. 191 overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft, acquiring the pick via a trade with the Denver Broncos. He began his college career at Stanford from 2020 to 2022 before transferring to Michigan, where he made 15 starts in 23 games over the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Career highlights
Hinton won a national championship with Michigan in 2023. He is the son of Chris Hinton, the fourth overall pick in the 1983 NFL Draft who made seven Pro Bowls over a 13-year career with the Colts, Falcons and Vikings, and his brother also played in the NFL.
2025 season recap
Hinton's rookie year was derailed before it started; he was placed on injured reserve in late August and never appeared in a regular-season game. The Eagles opened his 21-day practice window later in the season but ultimately kept him on injured reserve through the end of the campaign.
