Mike Bercovici can identify with Dillon Sterling-Cole, Joey Yellen and Ethan Long.
Bercovici came to Arizona State eight years ago wanting to be the starting quarterback, and most thought he was going to be that guy. But after sitting behind Taylor Kelly for three years, it wasn't until his fifth season at ASU when he finally got that chance.
He went on to have an impressive senior season in 2015, throwing for 3,855 yards and 30 touchdowns. That led to cameo appearances with the San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals, as well as time in the now-defunct Alliance of American Football.
