Legendary NFL Player Larry Allen Weight Loss Has Surfaced Following his Unexpected Demise
Larry Allen, the Legendary Dallas Cowboys, weighed 325 pounds (approx 147.5 kg) prior to his demise.
He was known for his incredible strength and athleticism during his career. However, there is no specific record regarding Larry Allen’s weight loss before his passing.

Additionally, at the age of 10, he was stabbed 12 times in the head, shoulder and neck by a young neighbor while trying to protect his brother.
Despite these challenges, Allen persevered and achieved great success in football.

One of his most famous feats was bench pressing 700 pounds. The video of him bench pressing has resurfaced and is once again going viral on social media.
Additionally, during the 2006 Pro Bowl Skills Competition, he impresively bench-pressed 225 pounds 43 times.
His impact on the game and the lives of those around him will be remembered for generations to come.
