Yes they did.In the days before the Super Bowl or the Pro Bowl came to be the NFL Champs would play the College All-Stars. One year in the early 60's the college team won. I remember Bubba Smith was one of the college players, I believe they actually beat GB

also found this on a search fwiw-
The game between the college all-stars and the NFL champions was called the Chicago All-Star Game. It was played from 1934 to 1976, 1974 excepted. The NFL won 31 of the 42 games, including the last twelve. The pros suffered nine losses and two games ended up tied. Led by their Steel Curtain defense, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the final game 24-0 before the game was discontinued due to waning interest.
