He's Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, and on Wednesday night, he met Kane Bernas, a U.S. soldier who was flying back to Seattle. To thank him for his service, Wilson upgraded Bernas' seat to first class -- a move that seemed to catch the soldier by surprise:
Russell Wilson was on my flight back to seattle and he brought me up to first class. Mad respect! #clutch

Anytime Kane... Thanks for serving our great country by serving with the Army! #GoUSA @AlaskaAir https://t.co/s19IcAf7fZ

KING5 News speculated Wilson was likely returning home after attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. Here's Wilson the night of the dinner with his grandmother, whom he took as a guest:
