Monday was a sad day as we learned that the NFL lost one of its legends with the passing of the Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame guard Larry Allen. Over his NFL career, he spent 12 seasons with the Cowboys and his last two with the San Francisco 49ers. After a rookie season where he bounced around in different positions, Allen settled in and immediately became a force along the offensive line. From 1995 to 2001, Allen earned All-Pro honors in seven straight seasons. This included a three-year stretch where he was named first-team All-Pro at right guard, then at left tackle, and then again at left guard.
