A small group of NFL rookies from the 2024 class, including Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, sat down for breakfast with Tom Brady and Jay-Z.
The seven-time Super Bowl champ and the Empire State of Mind rapper hosted the event with Fanatics CEO, Michael Rubin, in Los Angeles Sunday morning.
'Tommy and Jay thank you so much for the invaluable advice and knowledge you shared – this was such an incredible opportunity for these rooks before they take their first snap,' Rubin captioned a series of Instagram snaps, noting the group 'discussed sports and business.'
'Big things ahead for this group – can’t wait to watch you all crush it on and off the field,' the billionaire entrepreneur added.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers attended the event - held in a luxe LA mansion - along with the rookie Bears and Patriots QBs.

Brady has attended several of Rubin's Fanatics parties through the years, while Jay-Z's entertainment company Roc Nation invested $350 million in the sports merchandising juggernaut back in 2021.
Images from the low-key affair show the NFL's newest recruits listening intently while the retired Patriots legend, and the famed record producer, imparted some wisdom.
In one snap, Brady was all smiles alongside Maye, who was selected third overall by New England in the 2024 Draft.
The franchise has high hopes for the North Carolina graduate following a difficult few years after Brady's 2020 exit.
'This was such an incredible opportunity for these rooks,' Rubin captioned an Instagram post
'Big things ahead ... Can’t wait to watch you all crush it on and off the field,' he added
Other photos showed the 46-year-old sitting beside Williams, who was drafted first overall by the Bears.
It comes one week after Matt Eberflus officially named him Chicago's starting quarterback.
'No conversation. He's the starter,' Eberflus said.
The 22-year-old signal caller said he's ready to take the steps to learn how to lead.
'To be a great leader, you have to learn how to follow first. So right now I'm following all the vets, I'm following all the coaches, I'm listening -- having both ears open and my mouth shut -- just kind of sitting back listening,' he said.
'When I get to the point of when I learn everything, when I learn the ways of how we do it, the culture, the playbook and what the offensive line, wide receivers are all doing, running backs and tight ends, things like that, then you can start taking the lead, then you can start taking the helms of it and take the next steps.'
Williams won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 and passed for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions for the Trojans in 2023.
