Larry Allen, one of the greatest players in Dallas Cowboys history, has died suddenly on a family vacation in Mexico. He was 52.

“Larry, known for his great athleticism and incredible strength, was one of the most respected, accomplished offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL. His versatility and dependability were also signature parts of his career. Through that, he continued to serve as inspiration for many other players, defining what it meant to be a great teammate, competitor and winner,” the Cowboys said in a statement.
