He is one of the best, if not the best, to play his position in the modern game.

IMHO if you're talking about GOATs at the guard position it's Larry Allen and John Hannah at the top of the list.

RIP. Much too young.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. RIP to the big guy.

I haven't seen anyone play the position better.

I am reading Mike Lombardi's Football Done Right.  He has Allen in his top 100 players of all time

I appreciate the respect this man is receiving on the fan forum of a blood rival team of the Cowboys.

Classy and thoughtful posts by everyone here. We're all human beings with families at the end of the day. Football is just a game.

R.I.P. Much too young to pass.
A hated rival - but an all time great. Total respect.
