Myles Hinton, the former Michigan football left tackle, was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Known for his impressive final season at Stanford, where he allowed just one sack, Hinton caught the eye of Eagles GM Howie Roseman, who emphasized the importance of drafting talent that is the best available, regardless of immediate needs. With Hinton's selection, the Eagles added a player with a strong football pedigree, as his father was a professional athlete, which Roseman believes aids a player's adaptability in the NFL.

The Eagles, having already secured their Super Bowl championship, focused on depth and potential by drafting Hinton, one of three offensive linemen chosen, illustrating their approach to building a robust roster for sustained success. Hinton's family background, while not the sole reason for his selection, provides a notable context to his readiness for the challenges ahead in the NFL.
