Even the rookies just joining the league for Season Three know who Josh Bercovici is, and it’s a good thing they do. Bercovici, by circumstance, should not have been a well-known name. At 96th overall, not only was Bercovici not among the highest-profile QBs in the league, he wasn’t even one of the highest-profile QBs on his own team. The Orange County Otters had already drafted Ethan Hunt and Mike Boss at 24th and 48th, respectively. The decision was beyond puzzling at the time. Hunt, clearly the Otters top target, was a talented scrambler who could be effective behind a weak line, yet the Otters line would prove to be a strength very quickly. Mike Boss was more of a traditional QB, with Bercovici the high-risk gunslinger.
Bercovici may have had challenges reading defenses, but reading the team situation was easier. He chose a one year deal, ensuring that he wouldn’t be stuck behind Hunt and Boss for long. Hunt was traded to San Jose, and Bercovici became the backup, signing a high-profile sponsorship from Trump Athletics. His risks didn’t end there, as he would issue multiple statements and was also rumored of leaking reports of dissatisfaction with starter Mike Boss’ performance. His ploys worked, and Bercovici got the starting job for 4 games, enough to show other GMs what he had. In the offseason, he signed with the expansion team in Vegas and became the highest-paid athlete in the NSFL.
