A former professional football player from the United States named Jon Jansen has a net worth of $14 million.
Jon Jansen, who played college ball for the University of Michigan Wolverines, was born in Clawson, Michigan, in 1976.
Jansen, who weighed six-foot-six inches and 205 pounds, was an offensive tackle for the Wolverines in the 1997 BCS National Championship.
In the second round of the 1999 NFL Draft, Jansen was selected by the Washington Redskins as the 37th overall pick.
Until 2008, he was a member of the Redskins team, but in 2009, he played with the Detroit Lions in his hometown.
After the end of that season, Jansen agreed to a second one-year contract with the Lions that was worth the NFL minimum, but he was cut due to the team’s decision to trim their roster to the 53 players needed for the regular season.
Jansen’s career in the NFL saw him play 126 games and start 123 games, earning him second-team All-Pro honors in 2005.
After retiring, Jansen pursued a career in broadcast work.
Following that, he has taken on the responsibility of hosting post-game radio programs for the Lions on 97.1.
He has experience working with The Big Ten Network.
His statement on HBO’s “Costas Now” garnered attention due to his assertion that up to 20 percent of NFL players used performance enhancing drugs.
Jansen’s spouse has two daughters.
