Jabari Arthur (born August 28, 1982) is a Canadian football coach who serves as the running backs coach for the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He is a former professional wide receiver who played for eight years in the CFL. He is a two-time Grey Cup champion after winning with the Calgary Stampeders in 2008 and 2014. He is also a Vanier Cup champion with the Calgary Dinos following the team's victory in the 2019 game.
Arthur prepped at Vanier College in Montreal, winning Offensive Player-of-the-Year and Player-of-the-Year during the 2001 season. Arthur's play earned him a scholarship offer from the University of Akron, where Arthur would redshirt in 2003. After his redshirt year, new head coach J. D. Brookhart converted Arthur to a wide receiver. Currently, Arthur can be seen in the University of Akron Hall Of Fame.
He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL as a rookie free agent. Arthur was released by the Chiefs on August 30, 2008.
