Lee Artoe
Artoe had a short pro career, and only four seasons in the NFL with three more in the AAFC. He was selected to the Pro Bowl each of his first three seasons (1940-42), and helped the bears win two championships ('40 and '41). He also earned a first-team All-Pro nod (1942). He returned a fumble 52 yards for a touchdown in the 1942 title game (which the Bears ultimately lost to the Redskins).
