- He had a hint. Hinton said shortly after being drafted that he had a hunch that he would end up in Minnesota. He said he had been in contact with Vikings area scouts since November and was glad to end up with a team with which he has a familiarity.
- Position flexibility. Hinton, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, primarily played tackle in college. But he said he also can play on the interior at guard or center, and feels he fits in well with Minnesota's zone-blocking scheme.
- Ending with a bang. Hinton caught an 8-yard touchdown pass as a senior in his final college game, which was his first-career reception. He took a screen pass and rumbled into the end zone before celebrating.
