Each team has a history of drafting well from a certain school in the NFL Draft. The Philadelphia Eagles have a run of drafting from Georgia and New England from Alabama are two that have been relatively consistent over the last few years.
The Minnesota Vikings don't have a recent lineage in drafting from one specific school, but they have a lineage in drafting from Texas A&M Commerce.
In the last 40 years, there have been five players drafted from Texas A&M Commerce. The Vikings have drafted four of them.
Last 5 TAMU-Commerce players drafted:

5. Wade Wilson (Vikings, 1981)
4. Kyle Mackey (Cardinals, 1984)
3. Wes Smith (Cardinals, 1986)
2. Antonio Wilson (Vikings, 2000)
1. Levi Drake-Rodriguez (Vikings, 2024)
The Vikings have taken 3 of the 5 players from there in the last 40 yrs
That's pretty remarkable that the Vikings have taken three of them, but also the Arizona Cardinals have taken the other two. Does it mean anything? Not really, but it is fascinating.
