Russell Wilson is a stand-up guy.
Kane Bernas, a U.S. solider, tweeted in the wee hours of Thursday morning that he shared a flight to Seattle with the Seahawks quarterback. But meeting Wilson wasn't the only highlight of Bernas' trip; he also got a nice upgrade in the form of a first-class seat.

Even so, it's a very nice gesture by the 26-year-old.
Proud to join the @AlaskaAir team as their new Chief Football Officer. The Future is bright! #GoHawks #iflyAlaska pic.twitter.com/E1aKNNXgGn
