Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was among those in attendance at the lavish event.
Brady has attended several of Rubin’s Fanatics parties over the years, while Jay-Z’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, invested $350 million in the sports merchandise giant in 2021.
Footage from the low-key event shows new NFL recruits listening intently as the retired Patriots legend and famed record producer imparted some wisdom.
In one snapshot, 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 after a difficult few years following Brady’s departure in 2020.
“This was an incredible opportunity for these towers,” Rubin captioned an Instagram post.
“There are great things ahead… I can’t wait to see everyone crush it on and off the field,” he added.
Other photos showed the 46-year-old sitting next to Williams, who was selected first overall by the Bears.
It comes a week after Matt Eberflus officially named him Chicago’s starting quarterback.
‘No conversation. He’s the starter,” Eberflus said.
The 22-year-old communicator said he is ready to take the necessary steps to learn how to lead.
‘To be a great leader, you first have to learn to follow. “So now I’m following all the veterans, I’m following all the coaches, I’m listening, ears open and mouth closed, just sitting there listening,” he said.
“When I get to the point where I learn everything, when I learn the ways we do it, the culture, the playbook and what the offensive line does, the wide receivers, the running backs and the tight ends, things like that, then you can start to take the initiative, then you can start to take the helm and take the next steps.’
Williams won the Heisman Trophy in 2022 and threw for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions for the Trojans in 2023.
