Sewell said the unit is hanging out away from the facility to try to get to know each other better.

"Well, his talent speaks for itself and then he's got all the intangibles, I mean that's why he's rare," Campbell said. "He has all the skills, he has all the intangibles, and he works hard, man, he works hard.
