The 28-year-old athlete from Mississauga, Ont., was named the game's most valuable Canadian.
Picked second overall in the 2020 draft, the six-foot-one, 195-pound Virginia product has played all four seasons of his CFL career in Toronto. “This whole season, there was a bunch of ups and downs, but … our locker room, we believed in ourselves," Brissett said."Offence, defence, special teams, we all feed off each other and we got it done in the end.”
Arbuckle was named the Grey Cup's most valuable player. The 31-year-old American stepped into the starter's spot after Toronto's Chad Kelly broke his ankle in the East Division final win over the Montreal Alouettes.“Nick Arbuckle is a professional football player," Brissett said of the QB."He is locked in since he came to this locker room.
