Along with musician Travis Scott and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, Brady got together with the rookie quarterbacks Anthony Richardson, C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, and Will Levis.
“Such a special day being able to speak with and learn from four young professional qbs,” wrote Brady in the caption.
Brady, 45, said that he wants to try and pass along some of the wealth of quarterback knowledge he acquired over his unprecedented NFL career.
“One of my idols, [Steve Young], encouraged me always to ‘pay it forward,'” Brady explained. “Now that I’ve come to the end of my 23 year journey I am so excited to watch and help the next group reach their potential as athletes, as teammates, and men working to bring the best out of themselves and the communities they represent.”

Hint: Three of them, like James, spent at least part of their careers playing for the Lakers. The No. 1 player on the list (who never played for the Lakers) played his entire career for a Western Conference team.
