Flozell Adams may be known for his successful NFL career, which includes five Pro Bowl selections, but before pursuing his professional dreams, he made the decision to forgo entry into the draft in order to complete his senior year at Michigan State University in order to make good on a promise to his mother to stay in school and continue work toward his degree. Sadly, his mother, Rachel Fairman Adams, lost her battle with breast cancer just two weeks after Adams made his decision.
