Myles Hinton has only been a Philadelphia Eagle for a few months since the team selected him in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and in that time he has learned what it is like to be on this football team.
In fact, what he said on Monday after a nearly two-hour Training Camp session at the NovaCare Complex perfectly epitomizes why the Eagles are so successful. Hinton, a promising offensive tackle and the son of Chris Hinton, a 13-year NFL veteran who made seven Pro Bowls in a career played largely with the Indianapolis Colts.
Anyway, Myles Hinton is new here. He understands how far he is from reaching his peak. He appreciates how much more work he has to put in and how many more steps he has to take in order to be his best self.
Already, though, Hinton sees the path, one that the Eagles have helped him visualize in a very short period of time. Everything you hear about "a great culture" is what Hinton talked about and now Hinton, just a couple of days away from his first preseason game, is brimming with confidence.
He knows that if he follows what he is being taught, the sky is the limit. This is exactly what you hope every player in this Training Camp believes, and while that may be too much to ask, it's a goal for a franchise that invests in its players and in its culture-building process and in developing every part of the organization for greatness.
Said Hinton: "I know what I can do on the field. If I get it all perfect, then it will be unstoppable."

Most rookies at this point are swimming in information, trying to keep their heads above water and doing everything they can to stay one step ahead of the incredibly fast tempo of Training Camp on and off the field.
Hinton is doing all of that, yes, but he's conducting himself with a swagger, with confidence, with the belief that the Eagles have his back and that the team will be rewarded for giving him the chance to be all that he can be.
"I'm working on myself, confidence-wise, playing in the past, my whole college career. It started as a young player at Stanford. I wasn't too confident. And as I got more experience and playing time and attention, I realized, like, I'm very athletic," Hinton said. "I feel like if I applied myself, my mind, and my body to the nth degree, I don't know who can really contest.
"I'm not trying to be cocky. I'm not there yet. I'm not even close to being there yet. I just know that the sky is the limit to what I can do and what I want to do. If I apply myself, that's what I'm going to do."
Jeff Stoutland has clearly gotten through to Hinton and the young man is taking everything that Stoutland, the best offensive line coach in the business, to heart and then to practice. When you trust that your coach has your best interests at heart, it goes a long way.
Stoutland is a demanding coach who puts everything into his craft. The players who do the same benefit the most. Hinton is that kind of young player.
"For sure, for sure. Look at Jordan (Mailata). He came in having not played football ever and now he's the best (left) tackle in the league," Hinton said. "You see how he developed. He also has very athletic traits, Jordan does, so it's good to have another guy that's more athletic than I am, you know what I'm saying, to watch to see what he can do to try to emulate that.
"You see the stuff Jordan does and I'm like, 'Oh my, that's insane.' Crazy strong. Crazy athletic, crazy fast. I'm like, 'Man, that's the epitome of what I want to be when I get to my pinnacle.'"
Mailata takes time to work with Hinton, which is another part of a championship culture that you just don't find with every team. The veterans pay it forward, generation after generation. These rookies advance their games and play with confidence and are able to live-correct mistakes with technique and reads.
Add it all up and you gain a better understanding of the way it works with the Philadelphia Eagles. The idea is that everyone, in no matter what role you have on the team, has success.
Hinton crystallized it all on Monday after working against an aggressive, skilled group of defensive linemen that gave it to him as he gave it to them. Iron sharpens iron, they say. This is how the Eagles want it to be: Every player is going to be challenged to be the best they can be and if they listen and work hard and put in the time on their own to be great, the path to success is paved in Eagles Midnight Green.
