Travis Hunter is expected to be a top- five draft pick April 24 .

He wants to play almost every snap on both offense and defense in the NFL .

Teams have said they are open about Hunter 's proposition to some extent, even if they are not fully convinced.

The bigger question is whether the potential payoff is worth the risk and if Hunter is the rare player who can shatter old notions.

Travis Hunter is the most decorated player in college football history for a single season with eight major college football awards.

Deion Sanders saw that potential after playing both ways himself in the NFL to a smaller extent.

Some teams want him to concentrate on one side of the ball at first but differ on which.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel seems to tap the brakes on the idea.
