We have to be careful on this, he wants both offense and defense. Can't go in there and sell just one side of the ball.
Defense isn't hard to sell for DBU - for that matter, being the return guy (PP and TM are recent examples of DBs who did this) - but we don't really have any examples of taking a Patrick Peterson or Tyrann Mathieu and getting them touches on the offensive side of the ball - the closest we got, in recent memory, was Dominick Davis(Allen) and Michael Clayton both cross-trained as safeties when we had injury bugs leaving us short.
But I can't tell you the last triple threat guy we had - it's rare anyway.
Basically, to be a triple threat, you have to play defense and do return work. The offensive contribution comes in the form of 5 or 6 plays when you're inserted into the offense, either as a decoy or the primary target. At least that is the most common template I see.
ETA: I can foresee playing an Adoree as a nickel or 3rd corner, situationally, if he were a full time starter on the offensive side of the ball - there are just so few examples of this template, versus the more common - freakishly athletic corner, returns kicks and/or punts, and plays situationally on offense.
