I don't expect much but let's see.

Even if it's only Punter and a 7th for a 6th round pick, it's better than nothing.
Did you see the mention in the article where he posted in his Twitter kicking a 73 yard field goal?

So 73 is quite impressive leg strength wise, just saying (including to myself) don't compare it directly to in game kicks.
That being said, I wonder what the conversation rate would be, like is a 73 yard, no pass rush kick equal to a 55 harder with pass rush?
Also, the more important thing with kicking is how consistent are they, can they make the kicks over and over again, as Crosby hit some bombs in his "slump" year, but he was something like 4 for 9 on the bombs and people were wanting him fired, when really it was MM fault for consistently putting him out for bomb kicks, where most other kickers were only getting like 2 per year at the time, Crosby got 9
