Myles Hinton 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Michigan Wolverines OT
Height: 6066 (verified)
Weight: 323lbs (verified)
Year: Redshirt Senior
Pro Comparison: Greg Little
Scouting Overview
Michigan Wolverines offensive tackle Myles Hinton projects as a developmental tackle at the NFL level. Hinton was a transfer to Michigan after three seasons and illustrates ideal measurables with some pleasant functional athleticism to build upon as a late-round project.
Hinton’s consistency, angles, footwork, punch timing, and processing will all need to be better harnessed, as he feels too much like a reactive athlete trying to play the position. But his game's uncoachable elements are real and worth a spot on the roster for training camp.
2025 NFL Combine Results
| Position | Name | School | 40-Yard Dash | 10-Yard Split | Broad Jump | Vertical Jump | 3-Cone Drill | 20-Yard Shuttle | Bench Press |
| OL | Myles Hinton | Michigan | 31.5 | 4.96 |
Positives
- Boasts elite size and length for the position, thanks in part to NFL bloodlines
- Offers a larger-than-expected gravitational pull when playing as an aggressive blocker in the run game
- Lighter feet and more fluid than you’d expect from his build
Negatives
- Folds too easily in his pass sets to bail on his footwork, chasing or lunging to overextend
- Hands are irregular to establish first contact, and he doesn’t play to his length
- Play processing is frustrating for a fifth-year senior; it can be too reactive at times and put on the defensive
Background
Hinton is the son of a former NFL star—his father, Chris, was a seven-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman after being drafted in the top five of the 1983 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.
Myles is from Johns Creek, GA, and played high school football at Greater Atlanta Christian. He was a highly coveted 5-star recruit (247 Sports) member of the 2020 recruiting class. After receiving a slew of major offers, Hinton elected to enroll at Stanford.
Hinton would go on to play in 22 games with 16 starts in three seasons with the Cardinal before entering the transfer portal and landing with the Michigan Wolverines. He was a partial starter after opening the 2023 season in the lineup for the ‘23 Wolverines’ National Championship run before returning for 2024 and logging 10 starts.
Ideal Scheme Fit, Role
Hinton projects as a developmental talent who would best fit in a run-heavy gap scheme that features a lot of solo drive blocks and combination blocks at the point of attack. There, Hinton’s raw length, gravitational pull and power can be best showcased.
