Larry Allen, one of the most dominant offensive linemen in the NFL during a 14-year career spent mostly with the Dallas Cowboys, has died.
He was 52.Allen died suddenly on Sunday while on vacation with his family in Mexico, the Cowboys said.A six-time All-Pro who was inducted into the Pro Football of Hall of Fame in 2013, Allen said few words but let his blocking do the talking.“Larry, known for his great athleticism and incredible strength, was one of the most respected, accomplished offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL ,” the Cowboys said Monday. “His versatility and dependability were also signature parts of his career.
Late in his rookie season, Allen saved a touchdown by running down Darion Conner when it looked like the New Orleans linebacker only had Troy Aikman to beat down the sideline. Most of the rest of his career was defined by power — first as a tackle, where the Cowboys figured he would be a mainstay, and ultimately as a guard.
