Oregon Football's Bo Nix learns from Tom Brady and Jay Z

Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix sat down with legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady and rapper, producer and entrepreneur Jay Z to discuss sports and business.

Michael Rubin, the billionaire founder and CEO of Fanatics, shared photos on Sunday of Brady and Jay Z having breakfast with NFL rookies, including Nix, No. 1 overall NFL draft pick Caleb Williams, No. 2- Overall selections Jayden Daniels and quarterback Drake Maye, tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Malik Nabers.

“Breakfast with Jay and Tom > $500,000 but really great morning with Tom Brady and Jay Z and our Fanatics newbies discussing sports and business!” Rubin wrote. “Tommy and Jay thank you so much for the invaluable advice and knowledge you shared – this was an incredible opportunity for these rooks before they take their first snap.”

“This group has big things ahead of them – I can’t wait to see how you all handle it all on and off the field!”

On Friday, the same group of NFL rookies attended an official jersey unveiling event sponsored by the NFL Players Association and Fanatics in Los Angeles. It is an annual four-day event designed to meet newbies and potential business partners.

Rubin is known for his ability to unite the sports, business and music industries. His “white summer party” in the Hamptons has an A-list that includes Brady, Jay Z, Travis Scott, Beyoncé, James Harden, Leonardo Di Caprio and more.

Hopes are high for Nix in his rookie season under Broncos coach Sean Payton.

Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson is confident in his adopted brothers Nix and Payton and believes they can win a Super Bowl this season.

“Whatever team Bo plays, they’re going to have success,” Johnson told Bri Amaranthus of Oregon Sports Illustrated. “There is no doubt about it. He is the best man in the NFL. The guy is incredible.”

Johnson spoke with Nix about his move into the league after completing NFL rookie minicamp. It was Nix's first chance to get on the field with his teammates and coaches in Denver.

“He loves it,” Johnson told Amaranthus. “He's tired, I can see it on his face. It is normal. I just feel like his presence there is a great situation. He’s been through this enough and all he knows is football.”

The Broncos selected Nix 12th overall. This is the first time in his career that Coach Payton has drafted a quarterback in the first two rounds of the draft.

The 2023 Heisman Trophy finalist is coming off his best season yet. The 23-year-old broke the NCAA single-season record for completion percentage with 77.45 in 2023, completing a whopping 364 of 470 passes. Nix is ​​the most experienced quarterback taken in the 2024 draft and has broken the NCAA record for most FBS quarterbacks ever with 61 career starts.

Classes with Brady and Jay Z, two of the most successful people in their respective fields, will certainly help Nix prepare for his nascent professional career in Denver.
