I agree with Sharin on DOF. A very cool moment in time you captured there, especially the look on the tackler's face. I think it looks a little wonky with their feet just barely cut off. I don't know if this is a crop and you have their feet in the original file still, but IMO you either need to include the feet or crop more tightly on the bodies. Also I'd bump up the darks a little bit. See my edit below --
The slight rotation I did solves a bit of the foot issue, and it also helps your eye decide that the 2 guys in the foreground are the subject of the photo, rather than the guys standing in the background, because now they appear slanted whereas the slant to the players appears normal. Hope this helps
