An absolute monster, died too young.

His play on the New Orleans interception is one of the greatest in any sport at any level.

RIP Larry

One of the strongest men to play football

His feats of strength in the Cowboys' weight room were legendary, once bench-pressing 700 pounds. His speed for his frame astounded many, including chasing down New Orleans Saints linebacker Darion Conner on an interception return in 1994

Best OG of all time. Gone way too early.

Best OG of all time. Gone way too early.

Absolutely. He was one of the few "Franchise Guards".

Probably the toughest OL I've ever seen.

I remember Mao Tosi looking like an 8th grader matched up against Larry Allen. I'll never forget it as long as I live.

I think the DAL o-line Allen was part of is the most dominant in NFL history.

52! Makes you wonder if there was some underlying health issue or if it was caused by his playing time. That is way too young.

I think it's size based. So much strain on the heart
