VANCOUVER — Toronto Argonauts’ quarterback Nick Arbuckle went from a backup to Grey Cup Most Valuable Player in the span of eight days.
The veteran took the field in the second half of the Eastern Final against the Montreal Alouettes after a leg injury to starter Chad Kelly and led to the team to another Grey Cup Appearance.
