Has there ever been a Father-Son duo play in the NFL at same time?

Ray Lewis was just now on Countdown. He mentions watching his son, a Junior in HS, playing football just like him. This got me wondering if there has ever been a Father-Son duo playing in the NFL at the same time. Anyone know if this has happened in NFL history? If Ray Lewis can play another 5 years, his son (if that talented) will be eligible for the draft.

Maybe Brett's daughter can learn how to kick, and he can un-retire and she can sign on with a team.

Charles and Ted Nesser in 1921. Actually there were 7 Nesser's on that team. 
Nepotism, much?(Ted was a player/coach)
Edit: Found a wiki article on them. LINK

I know its happened in baseball... Football players dont really have that kind of longevity... Maybe it could happen with a kicker
ETA: on the Nessler father-son duo, any idea on ages? Surely this was before u had to play 3 years of college

After further investigation, the younger nessler was 19 for the season he played

you have to be basically 21 to play in the NFL
even if a guy had a kid when he was 16, that means he'd have to play until 37 to possibly play with his kid
very, very unlikely unless we're talking about kickers

I was thinking about how long ray Lewis had left the other day. Surely he won't still be playing in 5 years. It's one thing to be a 40-something QB, or kicker, or even OL. But LB?

unless you are a super-smart Nigerian, then you may get drafted top-10 when you are 19.

exactly, but the odds of his father playing in the NFL are low, then. that outlier has its own safety net
