Dallas Cowboys legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Larry Allen died Sunday at the age of 52, the Cowboys announced.

Allen died while vacationing with his family in Mexico, according to a news release from the team that celebrated his time with the Cowboys. An exact cause of death has not been announced.

“Larry, known for his great athleticism and incredible strength, was one of the most respected, accomplished offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL,” a statement from the Cowboys said. “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 Jones family and the Cowboys extend their deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Allen family and grieve along with the many other friends and Cowboys teammates that also loved Larry.”

After being drafted in the second round of the 1994 NFL Draft, Allen went on to play 14 years in the NFL.

Allen was a force on the field, was known for bench-pressing more than 700 pounds, and helped the Cowboys capture the 1996 Super Bowl.
