Unlikely. That would be 'restraint of trade'. GL is an established and legitimate way of teams protecting their IP, and I believe the courts have ruled on this.
A year for a top designer would be the limit I suspect, and three years likely be held to be an excessive period to restrain someone from practicing their trade.
