PLAYER ANALYSIS
Decorated tackle who will be asked to slide inside and learn a new position. Hinton used his power and athleticism to overwhelm his level of competition, but his movements out of his stance can be a little wild and unfocused, which will get him in trouble against NFL competition. He needs to add mass and play with better hand placement and less forward lean. Hinton isn't NFL-ready, but his explosiveness, strength and quickness are appealing traits to work with as a developmental prospect who could find an early home on a practice squad.
