Incoming Michigan State football freshman safety Emmanuel Flowers has made a vow to himself and to his doubters.

One of Michigan State’s lowest-rated 2017 football commits has set some lofty goals for himself in a typical underrated Spartan way. Emmanuel Flowers, a borderline three-star safety from California, has set his career goals high.

Whether it was caused by people doubting his talent or just being overlooked as a recruit, Flowers posted his NFL aspirations on Twitter. Not only did it sound like a goal of his, but he turned it into a promise.

This is the exact attitude that Spartan fans have to love. Not exactly the most sought-after prospect in the 2017 class and a two-star according to some services stating that he will make it to the NFL. That kind of statement doesn’t come without hard work and Flowers seems like the type of kid who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty.

Flowers also realizes it will be a long, uphill battle to get to the NFL, but he has seen two-stars before him make it to the league via East Lansing. Look at Darqueze Dennard, Trae Waynes and Le’Veon Bell, for example. Could Flowers be the next?

The three-star safety from Chino, Calif., is ranked the No. 1,869 recruit in the 2017 class as well as the 142nd-best at his position, according to 247Sports. Can he prove the doubters wrong and make it to the league?
