Professional career[edit]

Rios was drafted 25th overall by the NLEX Road Warriors in the 2015 PBA draft.

On January 25, 2020, Rios signed a one-year contract with the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters after not being offered a contract by NLEX.[1] He signed a two-year extension with Phoenix on February 15, 2021.[2]

After his contract ended with Phoenix, Rios signed a one-year contract with the Meralco Bolts on January 19, 2023.[3]

Personal life[edit]

Basketball was not his first sport. Jansen played center forward for his elementary and high school teams. And growing up, he rooted for Liverpool FC where aside from Steven Gerrard, he observed the techniques of former striker, the 6’8” Peter Crouch. Watching Crouch closely, Rios, standing at 6’2” used his height advantage in winning headers and corners to score goals.[4]
