That's partly because of the visibility of the position. Of course you're going to hear about it, and see highlights if a rookie tailback is tearing it up. Corners in general, don't get a lot of publicity unless they're scoring touchdowns. If a corner is doing his job well, you'll never see highlights on Sportcenter.
And yes, there are always a handful of RB's that make a splash, but almost all of them hit the rookie wall. LaDanian Tomlinson did it his rookie year. Cadillac Williams did it this year. If a corner comes into the league playing sound football, he can generally keep it up unless he gets injured.
