Travis Scott and Tom Brady have opened their arms — and expertise — to a group of rookie quarterbacks as they transition from college to the big leagues.
According to TMZ, the lyricist and retired famed quarterback recently attended a luncheon hosted by Michael Rubin — CEO of Fanatics, the world’s leading provider of licensed sports merchandise; and executive chairman Rue Gilt Groupe — at his Los Angeles home, where the trio offered expertise across business, branding, and more.

Attendees included CJ Stroud, Will Levis, Anthony Richardson, and the No. 1 overall pick, Bryce Young.
“Incredible lunch with @TomBrady and @trvisXX talking to our @Fanatics athletes @_bryce_young@CJ7STROUD@will_levis and @GVOaant about building their careers on and off the field!,” revealed Rubin via Twitter. “Thank you Tommy and Trav – what an amazing discussion!! Can’t wait to watch my guys kill it in football and in business!”

In a separate thread, Rubin shared a brief clip of Brady in which the seven time Super Bowl title-holder encouraged the rising stars to keep their heads up, despite the adversity they’ll face, as well as touched on how he achieved such longevity in his career — despite being selected No.199 in the sixth round as an early athlete.
“I just outlasted everybody,” Brady said. “There’s another me back there. So how do I keep my edge on everybody? I had to keep working. I didn’t go, ‘Hey, I’m good. I won three Super Bowls.'”
Meanwhile, Rubin’s message to the squad was simple and to the point. “Every day we’re screwing things up,” said Rubin. “We’ve just got to get a lot more right than wrong and keep learning from it … The tougher s*** gets, the more focused I am.”
On the music front, Scott has been going above and beyond to keep his latest album safe and sound from potential leakers.
On Thursday (May 18), TMZ snapped photos of the “SICKO MODE” rapper as he was leaving a vinyl records joint in Hollywood, CA.
He was accompanied by a bodyguard touting a briefcase with the word “Utopia” written in Scott’s handwriting on the front. This message was also matched by the same “Utopia” message on the bottom of Scott’s shoes.

This led to speculation that the bodyguard was touting the master copy of Scott’s upcoming album of the same name, with a source close to the rapper telling the venerated outlet that Scott planned to unveil the full reveal of the album “sometime this summer.”
