He was drafted in the fourth round of the 1996 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[1] As a member of the Steelers, Arnold was primarily used for kick returns. In his two seasons with the Steelers, Arnold appeared in twelve games.

After being cut by the Steelers, Arnold played one game with the Green Bay Packers but did not record any yardage.

Arnold was drafted by the XFL's Birmingham Thunderbolts on the second day of the draft and was chosen 194th overall.[2] On March 16, 2001, Arnold was waived by the Thunderbolts and was claimed by the Memphis Maniax.[3] In the XFL's lone season, Arnold played two games, both with the Maniax. He finished with 10 yards receiving[4] 48 yards on returned kickoffs,[5] and 50 yards on returned punts.[6]
