OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Brandon Williams didn't simply dress up as Alvin the Chipmunk for Halloween. The Baltimore Ravens affable 335-pound defensive tackle wore his costume to Tuesday's practice and recorded a video of himself lip-syncing to Alvin and the Chipmunks' "Witch Doctor" inside the team facility (and included a brief shot of injured quarterback Joe Flacco). Williams has shot some memorable videos over the years, from him walking on his hands to his impromptu dance party inside the locker room to performing a spirited rendition of "the Carlton" at a fan forum in London. He's also known for his attire, wearing an Incredible Hulk shirt underneath his jersey for practice. This time, Williams wore his Alvin costume -- a red shirt with the large yellow 'A' on it -- under his purple No. 98 jersey. Williams, 28, became one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL this offseason when he signed a five-year, $52.5 million deal with Baltimore. His importance to the Ravens' run defense showed this season. In four games with Williams, Baltimore has limited teams to 96 yards rushing per game. Without Williams (foot injury) this year's Ravens have allowed 169.5 yards. But Williams' focus on Halloween night wasn't stopping DeMarco Murray and the Tennessee Titans running backs. It was primarily on dressing up as Alvin and taking care of his family of chipmunks.
