How is RB the easiest? A running back coming out of college has to learn an entirely new playbook, new blocking schemes, and new passing routes. In fact, the only person that has to know more than the tailback is the quarterback.

How is RB easy?
How many rookie RBs do you see come in the league and tear it up? There's usually a couple each year that make a splash.
Rookie RBs can often be counted on to contribute right away and at a high level.
Adjusting to corner in the NFL is difficult simply because of the speed of the WRs and the speed of the game in general.
