Quite likely, but hard to beat out Bill O who played 3 years.

About 20 years ago we were dining out with family and friends. An older couple was sitting at the table next to us. At the end of dinner, the gentleman at the next table called over my son and has friend (both age 7) to talk to them. After paying the bill I wandered over to see what was going on. It was George Connor and he was showing the boys his Football Hall of Fame ring. He spoke with us for a few minutes about his playing days with the Bears, took the boys' names and addresses and sent each one an autographed photo a few days later. He was incredibly kind and gracious.
