The Broncos certainly did their due diligence while scouting at Wake Forest. In addition to Hinton, the team also signed undrafted defensive back Essang Bassey and drafted linebacker Justin Strnad in the fifth round, all of whom played for the Demon Deacons.
Hinton is a 6-foot, 195-pound wide receiver who Lance Zierlein of NFL.com had a draftable grade on.
Hinton began his playing career as a quarterback but was moved to wide receiver for his senior season. During his senior year, he caught 73 passes for 1,001 yards and four touchdowns, very solid numbers for a former quarterback.
