I think a lot of this has to do with a few things
First, RB is a position of decreasing value in the NFL. RBs are easily replaced and are no longer being well paid and the league is during into a passing league. This has the effect of talented 6'0 190lb players who could have been a great RB deciding to play WR.Â
Second, many WRs are eventually asked to switch to DB in college but may be listed at WR because that is there position of preference.
The final factor I believe is the expansion of 7-on-7 tournaments as Outsider Fan stated
