RIP Larry Allen

Recommended Posts

One of the better OL of all time.  Even tho Reggie demolished him a few times.  

Just says died suddenly.  Usually time flies but was a little surprised he is/was only 52.

Saw a tweet that said he was on vacation in Mexico with his family.   Havent seen anything else yet.

That extra weight is hard on the heart and specially the older you get would be my guess.

Not surprising for a man of that size to die at a young age.  WWF vibes

350 lbs is unhealthy especially at that age, your heart only has so many ticks, its why you never see obese old people

Was he a "fat" 350?  I'm just asking.  I saw an interview a while back where Joe Thomas looked a lot smaller, but he said he was only 20 pounds lighter from his playing weight.  Muscle in density is heavier than fat, so you can look a lot smaller/lighter but still be similar is weight.  I haven't seen pictures or anything of Allen in a very long time.
