Former 49ers lineman Larry Allen passes away at 52

Former San Francisco 49ers offensive guard Larry Allen, a Pro Football Hall of Fame member, has passed away at the age of 52.

According to multiple reports, Allen suddenly passed away over the weekend while on vacation in Mexico.

The 11-time Pro Bowler and six-time First-Team All-Pro member spent 12 of his 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys from 1994-2005 before finishing his career with the San Francisco 49ers during the 2005-06 seasons.

Allen was a key member of the 49ers’ offensive line that created holes for running back Frank Gore’s career-high 1,695 rushing yards in 2006.
