Michigan offensive lineman Myles Hinton to visit the Colts for a Top-30 visit.
Michigan offensive lineman Myles Hinton is set to visit the Colts for a Top-30 visit, Destin Adams of AtoZ Sports reported.
Hinton’s father, Chris Hinton, was a legendary Colts player himself, playing seven years for the horseshoe. In fact, Hinton was the Baltimore Colts’ last 1st-round draft pick before the team ultimately left for Indianapolis — the same draft that the then-Baltimore Colts had the 1st overall pick but was forced to trade down from it due to John Elway’s refusal to play for the organization.
Chris Hinton would usher in the new-age Colts, garnering five Pro Bowl nods and two All-Pro 2nd Team selections during six seasons in Indianapolis. He is also the second player ever to be inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor, being inducted just three years after former wide receiver Bill Brooks became the first.

Perhaps his son, Myles, will follow in his footsteps and be drafted by the Colts, but that remains to be seen.
Myles Hinton is a massive prospect, even for an aspiring NFL tackle. At 6’7”, 323 lbs, and sporting 34 1/8 arms, Hinton’s imposing body type is more than prototypical. Hinton started in 5+ games from 2021-2023, playing both tackle spots for the Stanford Cardinal and National Champion Michigan Wolverines. As a senior, Hinton started at left tackle for Michigan, missing two midseason games due to injury.
For more on Hinton as a prospect, here’s his prospect profile from NFL.com:
Hinton may be a mammoth of a man and the son of an NFL great, however, there’s a lot left to be desired when it comes to his NFL readiness. This meeting is more than likely a UDFA priority level of interest, though don’t be shocked if the Colts front office falls in love with Hinton’s potential due to his stature and lineage.
