“How can I get rid of my leg pain?”
I am a 17 year old male who has had leg pain for 2 weeks. I think it was from a mistake I made when executing a football play. How can I get rid of my leg pain?

Depends what the problem is. 2 weeks in a 17-year-old is too long. See a doctor.
Leg pain can develop from trauma or repeated strain to the area. Rest, foam rolling and other treatments can help but it's hard to heal while you continue to aggravate the pain by playing. I'd recommend you have a sports medicine physician take a look or at least your athletic trainer at your high school.
See your trainer first.
If you play formally for a school, see your trainer for an evaluation. They can also begin treatment and direct you to the appropriate physician.
Good luck,
