Professional career

Pittsburgh Steelers

After going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft Arbuckle spent mini-camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL.[4]

Calgary Stampeders

Arbuckle signed with the Calgary Stampeders in March 2017.[5] He quickly became the Stampeders' backup quarterback behind Bo Levi Mitchell.[6] Arbuckle played sparingly in 2018, completing 17 of 25 pass attempts for 144 yards with one touchdown: He also ran for 5 touchdowns as a short-yardage quarterback. Arbuckle lead the Stamps to an improbable come-from-behind victory in Week 3 of the 2019 season after Bo Levi Mitchell left with a shoulder injury.[7] Mitchell was subsequently placed on the six-game injured reserve, making Arbuckle the interim-starting quarterback.[8] Arbuckle led the Stamps to an impressive 37-10 victory the following week over conference rivals the Saskatchewan Roughriders.[9] The Stamps won four of their seven matches with Arbuckle under centre, before Mitchell returned to the starting lineup for the Labour Day game.[10] He finished the season having completed 174 of 238 pass attempts (73.1%) for 2,103 yards with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

Ottawa Redblacks

On January 3, 2020, Arbuckle was traded to the Ottawa Redblacks for a third-round pick and another conditional pick in the 2020 CFL Draft.[11] After a lengthy negotiation, he re-signed with Ottawa on January 31, 2020 to a two-year contract and triggered the conditional draft pick trade that saw Ottawa and Calgary swap first-round draft picks in the 2020 draft.[12]
