One day, when offensive lineman Myles Hinton was younger, he spotted a long scar on his dad’s leg. “He said he got bit by an alligator that he was wrestling,” said Myles Hinton, who was at the Eagles rookie minicamp on Friday after being drafted in the sixth-round last weekend.
The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles used the 191st pick in round six to nab Michigan Wolverine offensive tackle Myles Hinton. Hinton was a former 5-star recruit out of high school and is the brother of current LA Chargers defensive lineman Chris Hinton, Jr.
The former transfer is ready to step back into the starting lineup in his second year in Ann Arbor. It is not often that a college football player goes from being benched and injured one season to being called a “first-round draft pick” the offseason immediately following.
